WP(C) 6142/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY The petitioner seeks an appropriate writ and/or direction to the respond ent Nos. 4 and 6, namely, the Director General, Indian Council of Medical Resear ch, Ansari Nagar, New Delhi and the Director, Regional Medical Research Centre, N.E. Region (ICMR), Dibrugarh, Assam to release his leave encashment benefit on the basis of the service rendered by him and acknowledged by the Indian Council of Medical Research, New Delhi (for short, hereinafter referred to as ’the Counc il’). I have heard Mr NK Barua, learned counsel for the petitioner; Mr H Rahma n, learned State counsel for respondent No.2; Mr R Sarma, learned Assistant Sol icitor General for respondent No.7 and Mr M Bhagawati, learned counsel for respo ndent Nos. 1,3,4,5 and 6. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on a consideration of the relief sought for, this petition is considered appropriate to be dispose d of at the motion stage. The petitioner who had initially joined the Veterinary Department of the State as a Veterinary Assistant Surgeon in the year 1966 had opted for the resp ondent Council in the year 1984 and was, accordingly, sent on lien thereto. The petitioner was appointed as a Research Officer (Virology) in the respondent Coun cil and eventually by Notification dated 8.1.97 he was released from his parent department in the State service to be permanently absorbed in the respondent Cou ncil wherefrom he retired on 31.5.2000. In view of his transition from the paren t department to the respondent Council, there being teething problems vis-à-vis his pensionary benefits, he approached this Court by filing WP(C) No. 6715/2002 and, thereafter, WP(C) No. 2218/2007. After disposal of the aforementioned writ proceedings the Director General, ICMR , New Delhi accepted the period of service rendered in his parent department fro m 14.10.66 to 1.8.84 to be inclusive in the period under the respondent Council for computation of his pensionary benefits. According to the petitioner, while f ollowing the said decisions the necessary sanction for release of his pensionary benefits has been made, his leave encashment benefit has not been remitted as y et. According to him, judged by the aforesaid consideration and/or the period fo r which the other pensionary benefits have been released, he is entitled to the leave encashment benefit computed on the basis thereof as well. Seeking redressa l of his grievance to this effect, the petitioner has submitted a series of repr esentations, the last one being dated 18.2.2010 addressed to the Director, Regio nal Medical Research Centre, N.E. REgioin (ICMR), Dibrugarh. In course of the arguments Mr Baruah has urged that it would presently m eet the petitioner’s grievance if the instant petition is closed with a directio n to the aforementioned authority to consider and dispose of this representation of his at an early date. The learned counsel for the respondents has no objecti on to the mode of disposal suggested. In the above factual premise, having regard to the facts and circumstanc es of the case and the submissions advanced, this petition is closed with a dire ction to the Director, Regional Medical Research Centre, N.E. REgioin (ICMR), Di brugarh to dispose of the petitioner’s representation dated 18.2.2010 on merits. As the petitioner has already retired and is waiting in expectation, the exercise as ordered should be completed within a period of six weeks from the d ate of receipt of a certified copy of this order. No costs.
