1. Heard

2. The only grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is that the petitioner, who is a timekeeper, has rendered his services and traveled at different places in discharge of his official duties. The traveling allowance to which the petitioner is entitled for, from March 2013 to March 2014 amounting to Rs. 65,000/-, is not being paid to

him. The petitioner has spent a huge amount of money in the official work, therefore, the request has been made by him to give a direction to the respondent authorities to release the amount of Traveling Allowances (T.A.).

3. Taking into the limited prayer of the petitioner, the respondents No. 3 & 4 are directed to decide the claim of the petitioner for his entitlement of the T.A. from March 2013 to March 2014 within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order.

4. With the aforesaid direction/ observation, the present writ petition stands disposed off.
