J U D G M E N T Learned counsel for the parties submit that in view of the circular issued by the Government on April 17, 2007, the writ petitions have become infructuous. 2. In the above circular the Government has clarified that “the restriction that leave cannot be sanctioned for the extended period of service will take effect only from 01/04/2007 i.e. after 01/042007 such leave will not be sanctioned. Leave already sanctioned prior to 31/3/2007 need not be cancelled”. 3. Learned counsel for the parties submit that the above clarification will take care of the interests of the petitioners and therefore no further orders other than issuing a direction to the respondents to disburse the salary and all other consequential pensionary benefits to the petitioners, will be necessary. 4. Therefore the respondents are directed to pass appropriate consequential orders and disburse the pensionary benefits to the petitioners as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ Petitions are disposed of in the above terms. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
