            The petitioner, who is working on the post of L.D.C. in

the office of Punjab State Electricity Board, has filed the instant

petition for quashing order dated 20.5.2008 (Annexure P-3),

whereby a recovery has been ordered against him on account of

withdrawal of annual increments due to non-passing of the

completed    the computer basics course as per the document

               In view the said statement made by counsel for the

respondents, learned counsel for the petitioner does not press this

petition.
