Tejinder Singh and others .....Petitioners versus The State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Rajiv Atma Ram, Senior Advocate with Mr.Vikas Kuthiala, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioners are Class-III and Class-IV employees serving in Baba Banda Singh Engineering College, Fatehgarh Sahib. They seek a mandamus to direct respondent Nos.6 to 9, namely, the Managing Committee of the Colleges including the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee, to grant them the benefit of ACP Scheme which is already admissible to the employees of such like other institutions. It is averred that on the repeated demands raised by the employees, respondent No.9-Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee constituted a Committee which upon consideration of the matter has already recommended for implementation and grant the benefit C.W.P.No .16789 of 2010 2 of ACP Scheme to the employees like the petitioners. However, these recommendations have not been given effect for no reason whatsoever. In this regard, the petitioners, after representing the authorities, have also served the respondents with a legal notice dated 21.10.2009 (Annexure P15) but without any response. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners at some length and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to the respondents, especially respondent Nos.6 to 9, to consider and dispose of the claim of the petitioners as contained in the legal notice dated 20.10.2009 (Annexure P15) by passing a reasoned order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Suffice it to say that if the petitioners are found entitled to any monetary benefit, the same shall also be released within the stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
