1.
The prayer in the present petition is for directing the respondents to release the arrears from 01.01.2016 to 30.06.2021 to the petitioners along with interest.
2.
Learned counsel would submit that the petitioners were superannuated after 01.01.2016 and revision/refixation of their pension/retiral benefits has already been effected, in terms of notifications dated 05.07.2021 and 29.10.2021, however, arrears on account thereof as well as revised leave encashment have not been granted. She places reliance upon Ram Lal and others vs. State of Punjab and others, CWP-20649-2023, involving a similarly situated employee, which was disposed of by relying upon the judgment passed in Anita Gupta vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and others, CWP-7359-2021. In this regard, a representation dated 04.02.2023, Annexure P4, has been submitted by them, which has yet not evoked any response. She thus, at this stage, on instructions, submits that the petitioners are sanguine of it being considered in a positive manner, in case, a direction is given to the respondents to decide the same in a time bound manner by granting them an opportunity of hearing.
