J.S. Khehar, J. (Oral).

in Court today. The same is taken on record, subject to all just exceptions.
Copy thereof has been furnished to the learned counsel for the petitioner.
C.W.P No.19260 of 2008 2
Through the instant writ petition, the petitioner has claimed the
implementation of the Government of India, Ministry of Defence
notification/letter dated 1.2.2006 for enhancement in pensionary benefits for
personnel below the “officer rank” from 1.1.1996 onwards, instead of the
cut off date of 1.1.2006 depicted in the notification dated 1.2.2006. It is not
a matter of dispute, that the instant issue has been adjudicated upon by this
Court in Gurmel Singh Dhandi and others Vs. Union of India and others
(Civil Writ Petition No.6223 of 2007, decided on 26.5.2008).
Having considered the submission of the learned counsel for
the petitioner, and heard learned counsel for the respondents, we are
satisfied that the controversy raised in the instant writ petition is identical to
the one adjudicated upon by this Court in Gurmel Singh’s case (supra).
In view of the above, the instant writ petition is disposed of in
terms of the decision rendered by this Court in Gurmel Singh’s case (supra).
