The petitioner is working as an Overseer in KSEB. At the time when he was employed as line man Gr.I, he had applied for leave for 300 days on medical ground. Though, pursuant to Exhibit P1 judgment, salary due to him from 1.6.2005 was paid, after he rejoined duty, his arrears of salary and other benefits were not paid. There is dispute as to the period of absence. Apparently, a portion of the period was proposed to be treated as unauthorised absence . This fact has been brought to the notice of the 3rd and 2nd respondents under Exhibits P4 and P5. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to forward Exhibits P4 and P5 to the 1st respondent with his remarks and after due enquiry, appropriate orders may be passed thereon by the 1st respondent in relation to regularisation of the period of absence of the petitioner. W.P.(C)No.5261/08 2 Consequential benefits shall be disbursed, subject to the decision to be taken, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. V.GIRI, JUDGE. dsn
