Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI & F.M. REIS, JJ. AUGUST 13, 2009. Heard Shri Choudhari, learned counsel for the petitioner, Smt. Munshi, learned counsel for respondents No. 1 & 2 and Shri Mirza, learned AGP for respondent No.3. The prayer by widow of deceased employee is for grant of retirement benefits. The deceased husband was working in Zilla Parishad under EGS and he was regularized in 2003 and reached the age of superannuation in July 2005. The question is covered by the judgments of this Court in Writ Petition Nos. 619 of 2006 and 1029 of 2006 decided at Aurangabad on 16.7.2007. Here we are not in a position to accept that the deceased had put in any qualifying service. In view of the said judgment and facts mentioned above, writ petition cannot be entertained. Shri Choudhari, learned counsel has pointed out that the salary of the deceased for the period from 31.5.1993 to September 1995 has not been paid. He has 2 invited our attention to communication dated 27.7.2009 sent by the Government to the Collector, Gondia, on the subject matter of present writ petition. He states that at least direction to release that salary should be given. The relevant part in para 5 only mentions that the information about said salary claim was then awaited by the Government and hence Government could not give any specific reply. Without going into the merits of the controversy, we permit State Government to take appropriate decision on said salary claim as early as possible and in any case by 31st March 2010. If the deceased was entitled to any leave encashment or travelling allowance and scheme for group insurance was applicable to him, the employer may take appropriate decision about paying amounts thereof to the petitioner within the said period. Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
