THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25914 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioner is working as University Engineer in Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupathi. His grievance is that the respondents have not sanctioned encashment of earned leave and that they have not released the annual increments due to him. 2. Petitioner appeared as party-in-person. 3. It is stated that the two benefits were denied to him without any basis. He contends that though disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him, the competent authority has taken the view as recently, to drop the charges on finding that they are untenable. 4. Learned Standing Counsel for the respondents has placed before this Court a copy of the memo dated 08-11-2010 through which the petitioner was permitted to surrender the earned leave as well as the proceedings dated 15-11-2010 through which the disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner were dropped. 5. One of the grievance of the petitioner, viz., denial of permission to surrender earned leave has already been redressed. So far as the other grievance is concerned, the Vice Chancellor has issued proceedings taking note of the resolution of the Executive Council at its meeting held on 18-06-2010 to drop the disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner. Withholding of increments appears to be on account of pendency of disciplinary proceedings. Now they are dropped. The respondents shall be under obligation to release the same. 6. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of taking on record the fact, that the petitioner was accorded permission to surrender the earned leave and directing the respondents to release the annual increments due to the petitioner, within a period of four weeks from today. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J November 16, 2010. KTL THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.23314 of 2010 Date: 21.09.2010 JSU
