IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 18148 of 2010 Date of Decision: 29.08.2011 Dr. Rajni K.Arora ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ..Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present : Mr. Rajesh Kumar Girdhar, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. B.S.Chahal, DAG, Punjab. **** SURYA KANT, J.(Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to grant her revised pay scale of ` 7880-13500 w.e.f. 01.01.1996 alongwith all consequential benefits including arrears of pay, revised pensionary benefits etc. with interest @ 12% per annum. The above stated benefit has been sought while claiming parity with Dr. Sukhraj Kaur. The respondents in their reply/affidavit have stated that the revised higher pay scale granted to Dr. Sukhraj Kaur has since been withdrawn and as such the very foundation to seek parity has disappeared. ` Learned counsel for the petitioner on the other hand contends that there are some other similarly situated Bio-Chemists to whom the higher pay scale as claimed by the petitioner has been granted and they are still drawing pay in the higher scale. CWP No. 18148 of 2010 [2] It that is so, this petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to submit a representation to the respondents citing those instances. The respondents are directed to consider that representation and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order within a period of three months from the date of its receipt. If it is found that similar situated persons have been granted the higher pay scale and there is no reason to draw distinction, in that event, the petitioner claim shall also be favourably considered.
