Present: Mr. R.K. Arora, Advocate for the petitioner.
Mr. S.S. Sahu, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab.
Rakesh Kumar Garg, J.(Oral)
The grievance of the petitioner in this case is that despite the
directions dated 16.11.2007 issued by this Court, the respondents have
failed to take a final decision on the claim of the petitioner raised through
his legal notice dated 28.1.2004 and release him the consequential
benefits, if he is found entitled to.
In response to the show cause notice issued by this Court, Mr.
S.S. Sahu, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, on instructions from Mr.
Bachittar Singh, Senior Assistant in the Office of DPI (S.E.), Punjab
Chandigarh, states that promotion order of the petitioner has already been
issued vide order dated 2.9.2009 granting notional promotion to him w.e.f.
15.7.1997 and also for granting him the due benefits. Learned State
counsel has further stated that necessary sanction for release of the
benefits has been received and the payment shall be made within three
weeks from today.
This satisfies the learned counsel for the petitioner.
In view of the aforesaid, I am not inclined to proceed further in
this contempt petition.
Rule discharged.
