JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA\n\n\nPRESENT: -             None for the petitioner.\n\n                       Mr.    B.S.\n                                 Chahal, Deputy Advocate\n                       General,    Punjab,    for    the\n                       respondents.\n\n\n                                   .         .     .\n\nAJAI LAMBA, J (Oral)\n\n                       This    petition            has       been    filed       under\n\nArticle     226\/227           of       the       Constitution           of      India,\n\npraying     for    issuance            of    a    writ      in    the    nature     of\n\nmandamus     directing             the           respondents          to     release\n\n<\/pre>\n
retiral benefits to the petitioner.\n\n                       It     has           been       pleaded           that      the\n\npetitioner         joined          service             of        respondents        in\n\n<\/pre>\n
Department of Food & Supplies, Punjab as Watchman.\n<\/p>\n
The   name        of    the        petitioner               was     sponsored      by<\/p>\n
Employment Exchance and therefore, employment itself<\/p>\n
was regular although the appointment was shown as<\/p>\n
temporary.        Seniority            list        was       also       drawn.     The<\/p>\n
petitioner continued to serve the respondents till
\n CWP No.1644 of 2009                                           [2]<\/p>\n
attaining the age of 60 years and was retired w.e.f.\n<\/p>\n
31.12.2006. Retiral benefits were not paid to the<\/p>\n
petitioner and other similarly situated persons.\n<\/p>\n
                      One    Nazar    Singh       filed      Civil Writ Petition<\/p>\n
No.18567 of 2004 which was disposed of with direction to<\/p>\n
decide his representation. Relief was granted by the<\/p>\n
respondents.          It     has     further       been      pleaded        that<\/p>\n
services      of      the        persons    shown        junior        to    the<\/p>\n
petitioner in seniority list, were regularised. It<\/p>\n
is in this backdrop of facts that the petitioner<\/p>\n
claims regularisation and retiral benefits.\n<\/p>\n
                      It has further been pleaded that the<\/p>\n
petitioner submitted a representation dated 4.5.2005<\/p>\n
for regularisation of services. Since no action was<\/p>\n
taken, the petitioner filed Civil Writ Petition No.15683 of<\/p>\n
2005. The petition was disposed of on 30.9.2005 with<\/p>\n
direction      to          the     respondents          to     decide        the<\/p>\n
representation         within       three    months.         Direction       was<\/p>\n
not    complied       with,        whereupon      the     petitioner         was<\/p>\n
constrained on filing Contempt of Court Petition No.318 of 2006.\n<\/p>\n
During the pendency of the contempt petition, order<\/p>\n
dated 9.1.2006 was passed whereby representation of<\/p>\n
the petitioner was rejected while saying that posts<\/p>\n
were    not    available.            Be    that     as       it     may,     the<\/p>\n
petitioner      challenged           the    said    order         by   way    of<\/p>\n
filing Civil Writ Petition No.16184 of 2006 which was admitted<\/p>\n
and is pending. The petitioner, in the meanwhile,<\/p>\n
retired on 31.12.2006, however, without payment of<\/p>\n
retiral benefits.\n<\/p>\n
 CWP No.1644 of 2009                                               [3]\n\n\n\n                      It has been pleaded that the case of\n\nthe    petitioner       would       be    covered        by     similar       other\n\n<\/pre>\n
cases including Civil Writ Petition No.7780 of 2004 (Rakha Singh vs.<\/p>\n
State of Punjab & Others)<\/a> decided on 27.1.2005 and Civil Writ<\/p>\n
Petition No.16786 of 2001 (Baldev Singh vs. State of Punjab)<\/a> decided<\/p>\n
on 5.12.2002.\n<\/p>\n
                      Learned       counsel        for      the     respondents<\/p>\n
admits that cases of persons similarly situated have<\/p>\n
been    allowed.       It    has     also     been       brought        out    that<\/p>\n
Instructions dated 17.4.2009 have been issued by the<\/p>\n
respondent-Department               whereunder           relief         has    been<\/p>\n
given    to   persons        such      as    the     petitioner.          It    has<\/p>\n
further been brought out by the learned counsel for<\/p>\n
the respondents that the State of Punjab had filed a<\/p>\n
Special Leave Petition before the Hon’ble Supreme<\/p>\n
Court of India which was dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
                      Learned counsel has also drawn the<\/p>\n
attention      of      the      Court       towards         a     later       order<\/p>\n
passed by this Court passed on 22.7.2009 while<\/p>\n
dealing with Civil Writ Petition No.15397 of 2007 titled<\/p>\n
`Amrik Singh vs. State of Punjab & Others’.\n<\/p>\n
                      In      Amrik      Singh’s      case        (supra),     the<\/p>\n
following has been held:-\n<\/p>\n
                            “I have considered the issue.\n<\/p>\n
                            Instructions\/decision No.AB7(806)-2009\/950 dated
\n                      17.4.2009 (Annexure P-8) has been issued by the office of
\n                      Director, Food Civil Supplies and Public Distribution, Punjab,
\n                      to all District Food and Supplies Controllers in the State of
\n                      Punjab. The instructions\/decision (Annexure P-8) reads as
\n                      under:-\n<\/p>\n
                           “This is in reference to head office memo
\n                        No.AB6(650)-2007\/395 dated 5.3.2007 on the above
\n                        subject.\n<\/p>\n
 CWP No.1644 of 2009                                             [4]<\/p>\n
                         2. Through the letter under reference it was written to
\n                         you that the temporary chowkidars are not entitled to
\n                         pensionary benefits. As such they should not be given
\n                         pensionary benefits and those to whom such benefits
\n                         have been released after their retirement, necessary
\n                         action be initiated to recover the same back.
\n                         3 The said instructions were challenged by the retired
\n                         chowkidars before Hon’ble high court and a number of
\n                         petitions were filed out of which approximately eleven
\n                         cases were decided in their favour and some of the
\n                         petitions are still pending in the Hon’ble High Court
\n                         which are also likely to be decided in their favour. The
\n                         Department had filed an appeal before Hon’ble
\n                         Supreme Court in the case of Rakha Singh against the
\n                         decision of Hon’ble High court, which has also been
\n                         decided in favour of Department as under:-
\n                            “Regarding grant of pensionary benefits to
\n                            temporary chowkidars, they be treated at par with
\n                            regular     employees      and       pensionary,
\n                            superannuation compensation, invalid pension
\n                            and DCRG are payable to them.”\n<\/p>\n
                         4. In this context the Department had also engaged a
\n                         counsel of High Court for getting his opinion who has
\n                         also opined through his legal opinion dated 5.3.2009
\n                         that the decision in the case of Rakha Singh Chowkidar
\n                         of Hon’ble Supreme Court is applicable to all the
\n                         temporary chowkidars and there is no occasion to
\n                         challenge the decisions rendered by Hon’ble High Court
\n                         before Hon’ble Supreme Court in their cases.\n<\/p>\n
                         5. Upon consideration of whole issue it has been
\n                         decided that head office memo No.AB6(650)-2007\/395
\n                         dated 5.3.2007 is not legally correct and hence the same
\n                         is hereby withdrawn.\n<\/p>\n
                         6. You are hereby instructed to restore the pensionary
\n                         benefits given to the retired chowkidars and in case any
\n                         recovery etc. has been effected from these chowkidars,
\n                         the same may also be restored to them so that the
\n                         compliance of decision of Hon’ble High court could be
\n                         made.”\n<\/p>\n
                            I have also taken note of the fact that similar issue was
\n                      raised before this court wherein, while referring to the earlier
\n                      decisions of this Court and instructions\/decision extracted
\n                      above, the claim of petitioner therein was allowed while
\n                      dealing with CWP 14418 of 2008 (Mela Singh v. State of
\n                      Punjab and others<\/a>) decided on 11.5.2009.\n<\/p>\n
                             Having considered the facts and circumstances noticed
\n                      above, I am of the considered opinion that the petitioner is
\n                      entitled to the benefit, he having served the respondents for 22
\n                      years.\n<\/p>\n
                            Accordingly, the petition is allowed.
\n                             The respondents are directed to give pensionary benefits
\n                      to the petitioner. The pensionary benefits be released to the
\n                      petitioner within 3 months of receipt of certified copy of this
\n                      order.”\n<\/p>\n
 CWP No.1644 of 2009                                     [5]\n\n\n\n                      Considering        the      stand         of    the\n\nrespondents         to    the    effect     that     the      issue   is\n\n<\/pre>\n
covered by judgment dated 22.7.2009 rendered in<\/p>\n
Amrik Singh’s case (supra), this petition is allowed in<\/p>\n
