CHANDIGARH CWP-656-2020 Date of decision: - 13.01.2020 Sarbrinder Singh ....Petitioner

Versus

State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI Present: - Mr. Jugam Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner.

*** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was entitled for the benefits under the Dynamic ACP Scheme dated 17.04.2000 (Annexure P-5) as well as subsequent instructions issued in that regard on 22.12.2011 (Annexure P-6).

Learned counsel for the petitioner argues that the benefits of the abovesaid ACP Scheme (P-5) and the instructions (P-6) have already been given to the similarly situated employees, but despite the fact that the petitioner has served a legal notice dated 30.11.2017 (Annexure P-14) while he was in service, no benefit has been extended to the petitioner and that too without any valid justification. The prayer of the petitioner is for issuance of a direction to the respondents to grant him the benefit of ACP Scheme (P-5) read with instructions (P-6).
