DATE OF ORDER 28/01/2008 PRESENT HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Ms. Sailja Parihar for Mr.L.S.Lodha, for Petitioners . Mr.Rishi Vaishnav, Dy. Govt. Advocate, for Respondents. BY THE COURT All these writ petitions involve identical questions of law and fact and, therefore, they are being taken up together for hearing and are being decided by this common order. Grievance of the petitioners is that they were working as Patwari in the Irrigation Department. Upon abolition of the post 3 of Patwari from Irrigation Department, the Government decided to absorb the petitioners in the Revenue Department. The Government, thereafter, passed an order on 18th April, 2001, whereby certain instructions with regard to absorption of the petitioners in the Revenue Department were issued. One of the directions was that payment of their outstanding dues towards travelling allowance (T.A.) and medical bills should be made prior to their absorption and, if necessary, supplementary budget may be requisitioned for that purpose. The aforesaid petitioners have approached this Court, because in spite of the above referred to direction, and lapse of a a period of more than seven year, payment of their outstanding T.A. bill and Medical bill has not been made so far. The learned counsel for the petitioners has produced before the Court the copy of the judgment dated 18th November, 2003, passed by Co-ordinate bench of this Court in identical matter in Bharat Prasad v. The State of Rajasthan & Others, in S. B. Civil Writ Petition No.1510/2003, wherein, on consideration of the same matter, this Court directed the respondents to make payment of the dues to the petitioner in that case within three months from the date of production of the certified copy of the said order. The respondents, in the present set of cases, have filed replies to the writ petitions, in two petitions being S. B. Civil 4 Writ Petitions No. 7517/2007 and 7518/2007. Their contention, in substance, is that though the payment due to the petitioner is not denied, but some amount has already been deposited in their account, after passing bill by the Treasury on 19th of March, 2007 and for remaining amount, the bill will be prepared and sent to the Assistant Accounts Officer for verification and after receiving the verification, the payment will be made to the petitioners. In substance, the respondents do not deny the entitlement of the petitioners to receive the benefit of T.A. And Medical bills. In the circumstances, I do not deem it necessary to keep this matter pending, for formal replies of the respondents, in other matters. The writ petitions are accordingly allowed and the respondents are directed to finalize and make payment of the T.A. and Medical bills of the petitioners, within a period of three months from the date of production of the certified copy of this order.
