The grievance of the petitioner with regard to non- payment of part of his retirement benefit, namely, gratuity and leave encashment, in the first instance, should be looked into by the authorities concerned. This Court is informed that there is already a priority list for payment of gratuity and leave encashment and the Board is making such payment as per the date of retirement. In view of the fact that the date of retirement of petitioner is 30.06.2007, this Court would direct the authorities of the Board to make payment of gratuity and leave-encashment to the petitioner strictly as per his turn i.e. along with the persons who have retired on 30.06.2007. This application is, accordingly, disposed of. S.Sb/- (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
