ORDER

0/„ 13.07.2015 The writ petitioners in these proceedings seek directions to the respondents for grant and release of ACP/MACP benefits in terms of the Central Government's order dated 09.08.1999 and MACP dated 19.05.2009. Some petitioners retired before the Office Memorandum, .

entitling them to the MACP benefits with effect from the particular I date, was issued.

The petitioners rely upon the rulings of this Court dated 13.02.2015 (Ranjit Singh & Ors. v. UOI & Ors.) to urge that the By:AMULYA

ACP/MACP benefits should be granted to them.

The respondents do not deny that the petitioners are entitled to the benefits but submit that exact dates from which they can be disbursed have to be verified.

Having regard to the undisputed facts and the order of this Court in Ranjit Singh's case (supra), a direction is issued to the respondents to release the ACP/MACP benefits to such of,the petitioners who are entitled to both of them with effect from the date they became eligible for it, i.e., completion of the mandatory period of service, along with all consequential benefits such as disbursement of increments, arrears etc. In the case of the petitioners who are entitled to only second financial upgradation without the MACP as well as those who are retired, too, a similar direction is issued with the further requirement that the modified pension fixation order has to be issued and arrears of pension to the extent admissible released to them, after due verification. These directions shall be complied with within twelve weeks from today.

Writ Petitions stand disposed off in the above terms along with all the pending applications.
