LPA No.1384 of 2009 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh. LPA No.1384 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 13.01.2010 State of Punjab and others ....Appellants Versus Kulmohan Sood ....Respondent. Coram:- Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel Hon'ble Mr. Justice Alok Singh Present: Ms. Rita Kohli, Addl. A.G., Punjab for the appellants. ... Adarsh Kumar Goel, J. (Oral). 1. This appeal has been preferred against the order of the learned Single Judge directing consequential and other retiral benefits to be given to the respondent – writ petitioner treating him to have retired from the post of Joint Director. 2. Respondent was employed in the Department of Economic and Statistical Organisation, Punjab and was transferred to Welfare Department. He was promoted to the post of Joint Director and retired, but was not given retiral benefits for the said post but for the post of Deputy Economic and Statistical Advisor. 3. Learned Single Judge held that since writ petitioner retired as LPA No.1384 of 2009 2 Joint Director, there was no reason to deny him consequential retiral benefits of the said post. 4. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant. 5. Only contention put forward is that the impugned judgement may disturb inter se seniority of other officers working in the Economic and Statistical Organisation, Punjab. Since in our view direction in the impugned judgement is confined only to consequential retiral benefits, we, thus, we do not find any ground to interfere. 6. The appeal is dismissed.
