The petitioner retired as Head Master on 30-09-2005 in the Singareni Collieries High School, Manuguru. He was paid gratuity and other retrial benefits by applying the revised pay scales as per PRC-2005 scales, which was brought into effect from 01-07-2003 with monetary benefits from 01-04-2005. However, the petitioner’s claim for earned leave encashment by applying the revised pay scales is still pending. According to the petitioner, respondent No.3 sent his recommendation to respondent No.2 for payment of Rs.50,544/- towards this head. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.2 has not ordered for payment of the said amount so far. Having heard Sri G.Ramachandra Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri N.S.Pattabhirama Rao, learned counsel representing Sri Nandigama Krishna Rao, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents, I am of the view that the petitioner’s claim requires expeditious disposal by the respondents. Therefore, respondent No.2 is directed to consider the recommendations sent by respondent No.3 regarding payment of earned leave encashment arrears as per proposals dated 14-09-2006 sent to him by respondent No.3 within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.12198 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 30th April, 2009 vrn
