Versus

State of Punjab and others

...Respondent(s)

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S.SANDHAWALIA

Present:

Mr. Vivek Baghla, Advocate, for the petitioner.

G.S.SANDHAWALIA, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks the relief of revised pension in view of the instructions issued by the Government from time to time specially instructions dated 17.08.2009 (Annexure P-10). Reliance has also been placed upon judgment passed by this Court in CWP No. 20823 of 2011, Banarsi Dass and others vs. State of Punjab and others, decided on 18.03.2013 (Annexure P-16). Accordingly, interest @ 12% on delayed payment has also been sought.

Counsel submits that a legal notice dated 07.05.2015 (Annexure P-7/A) has also been served upon the respondents but no action has been taken on the same. Counsel submits that he would be satisfied at this stage if a direction is issued to the respondents to take a decision on the said legal notice within a time bound frame.

Keeping in view the limited relief sought, this Court does not feel it necessary to call upon the respondents to file reply. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 3 to take into consideration the legal notice dated 07.05.2015 (Annexure P-7/A) and decide the same within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. In case the amounts are found to be due, the same be paid within 2 months thereafter. Needless to say that in case the relief is to be denied, the order should contain reasons. 05.11.2015 (G.S.
