In that sense, nothing survives for consideration insofar as relief in terms of prayer clause (B) is concerned. Insofar as relief in terms of prayer clauses (C) & (D) is concerned, we direct the respondent nos.2 to 4 to consider the application of the petitioner dated 30.5.2009 to extend couple benefit to the petitioner and/or to initiate departmental inquiry against respondent no.5, if so advised. That be done on its own merits in accordance with 2 law. The respondent nos.2 to 4 shall take appropriate decision expeditiously and in any case not later than six weeks from today. Besides, the respondent nos.2 to 4 shall pay salary to the petitioner as may be due and payable to him including interest, if any, in accordance with law. It will be open to the petitioner to make further representation to the authority to pay the outstanding amount towards his salary along with interest accrued thereon, keeping in mind the dictum of our High Court in the case of Yuvraj Nathuji Rodye V/s Chairman, Maharashtra State Electricity Board, Bombay & others reported in 2008 (6) Maharashtra Law Journal, 384. That request may be considered on its own merits. Petition disposed of on the above terms. (S.S. SHINDE, J) (A.M. KHANWILKAR,J) Dt/- 03.02.2010 ndk/c32105
