CORAM; HON'BLE MR JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI Present: Mr. Ranjivan Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. PERMOD KOHLI, J. (Oral): The short dispute in the present writ petition relates to the period of grant of leave encashment. The petitioner was granted leave encashment for 180 days, whereas he claims the same for 300 days. It is agreed by the learned counsel for the parties that the controversy involved in the present petition is squarely covered by a judgment of this Court rendered in CWP No.16137 of 1999 (Charan Singh Lamba Vs. State of Punjab and another) on 01.08.2001,wherein the following observations have been made:- “As a consequence, the letter/clarification dated July 29, 1999 (Annexure P-8) is quashed. The petitioner will be entitled to leave encashment for 300 days in lieu of unutilized earned leave as he retired on July 31, 1997. Likewise, in the writ petition No.17950 of 1999, the petitioner-Kirti CWP No.14595 of 2001 -2- Kumar will also be entitled to leave encashment for 300 days in lieu of unutilized earned leave lying at his credit. Both these writ petitions are allowed in the manner indicated above.” This petition is disposed of in terms of the observations made above. Let the claim of the petitioner be settled within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. No costs. 29.01.2009 (PERMOD KOHLI) BLS JUDGE
