Mr. Navdeep Chhabra, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. *** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) Learned counsel for the petitioner very fairly states that against the conviction, petitioner has already filed a CRA-S-3627-SB-2015 titled as 'Sampuran Singh Master Vs. State of Punjab', which is still pending consideration before this Court and therefore, till the decision of the said appeal, petitioner does not wish to press the prayer for the grant of pensionary benefits as raised in the present writ petition, with the liberty to raise the said plea in case the same subsists after the decision of the criminal appeal. Learned counsel for the petitioner further argues that before the order of dismissal was passed, petitioner was under suspension and during the period of suspension he was not given the enhanced NARESH KUMAR 2019.11.29 12:14 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

Learned counsel for the respondents very fairly states that legal notice dated 21.06.2016 (Annexure P-2) will be decided within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order and the appropriate orders will be passed qua the claim of the petitioner for the enhanced subsistence allowance only, as requested by learned counsel for the petitioner.

Ordered accordingly with the liberties to the parties as recorded above.
