prospectively and though the respondents have made a calculation which the petitioner is entitled from the date of his completion of 8 years of service but no effective orders have been passed nor the department has taken any steps for release of the arrears of payment. The petitioner prays for appropriate direction to the respondents for releasing the said amount.
