The Tribunal has issued innocuous direction to the petitioners to get this matter examined from the Ministry of finance for the grant of benefit to the applicant-respondents from the year 2003 onwards. There case is required to be considered at the level of Ministry of Finance, Department of Personnel and Training. It is appropriate to mention that the applicant-respondents have been CWP No.15619 of 2008 2 clamouring for grant of leave encashment for a period of 300 days which has been granted w.e.f 7.11.2006 but, their prayer is to grant them the benefit from 21.4.2003. The order is required to be complied with within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. The period of three months has admittedly expired. We have been informed by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the extension of one month period obtained by the petitioner is also to expire in a day or two. In view of the above, taking into account the totality of the circumstances, we are not persuaded to interfere in the direction issued by the Tribunal especially when the period for consideration has already expired and the extension for consideration of the case have been granted which is also to expire in a day or two. Disposed of accordingly. ( M.M KUMAR ) JUDGE September 3, 2008 ( JORA SINGH ) ritu JUDGE
