IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT

CHANDIGARH CWP No. 21118 of 2015 Date of decision: 05.10.2015 Pushpa Devi ....Petitioner(s)

Versus

State of Punjab and others

...Respondent(s)

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S.SANDHAWALIA

Present:

Mr. Padamkant Dwivedi, Advocate, for the petitioner.

G.S.SANDHAWALIA, J. (Oral) Prayer in the present writ petition is for issuance of direction to the respondents to make the payment of LTC to the petitioner for the leave period from 19.05.2014 to 28.05.2014.

Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was serving as a Centre Head Teacher and had availed the LTC and sanction was also granted on 13.05.2014 (Annexure P-2). The petitioner has also superannuated but the above said amount has not been paid. She had filed a representation on 06.08.2015 (Annexure P-7), which is still pending with respondent no. 3.

Counsel submits that he would be satisfied at this stage if a direction is issued to the respondents to take a decision on the said representation within a time bound frame.

Keeping in view the limited relief sought, this Court does not feel necessary to call upon the respondents to file reply. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 3 to take into consideration the representation dated 06.08.2015 (Annexure P-7) and decide the same within a period of 2 months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. In case the amount is found to be due, the payment be made within a period of one month thereafter. Needless to say that in case the relief is to be denied, the order should contain reasons.
