COCP No. 1512 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. COCP No. 1512 of 2010 Date of decision:- 7.12.2010 Balvinder Kumar. ....Petitioner Vs. Dr. Naresh Mittal, Secretary and others. ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present:- Mr. Surender Lamba, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Amar Vivek, Advocate, for the respondents. HEMANT GUPTA, J (ORAL) ****** The writ petition filed by the petitioner was allowed on 11.12.2009 and the management was directed to encash earned leave of the petitioner and other retiral benefits and pay the same within one month. In pursuance of the said direction, the retiral benefits have been paid with leave encashment of 110 days while making payment of Rs.58,538/- and Rs.9375/- towards interest. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that he is entitled to leave encashment for 240 days as the petitioner was appointed by the college in the year 1986 and he is entitled to encash its leave from the year 1986 itself. COCP No. 1512 of 2010 2 It is the stand of the respondents that Leave Encashment Scheme was introduced in the college in the year 2001 and all the employees are entitled to leave encashment from the year 2001 only. There is dispute regarding entitlement of the petitioner for encashment of leave for 240 days or for 110 days. Such disputed question cannot be examined in contempt proceedings. It shall be open to the petitioner to seek his remedy in appropriate proceedings in accordance with law. With the said liberty, the present contempt petition is disposed of.
