Notice of motion.

Mr. R.S. Sidhu, AAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. Copy of the writ petition has been supplied to him in Court. Keeping in view the limited relief sought, this Court is of the opinion that there is no need for the respondents to file reply. Accordingly, without commenting on the merits of the case, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 1 to decide the representations dated 27.04.2011 and 10.02.2012 (Annexures P10 and P-15) on the basis of the recommendation made within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. In case the petitioner is found entitled for the said benefits, the financial benefits be granted within a period of 2 months thereafter.
