THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.11428 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioner, who retired as an Assistant Manager of the District Cooperative Central Bank Ltd., Vizianagaram, files this Writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents to release arrears of leave salary accumulated to an amount of Rs.1,89,496/-. When the petitioner was working as Assistant Manager, disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him on the ground of dereliction in duties in sending Crop Insurance proposals. During pendency of the disciplinary proceedings, he retired form service. Solely on the ground that disciplinary proceedings are pending, the respondents withheld the leave salary amount due to the petitioner to a tune of Rs.1,89,496/-. Though no counter affidavit is filed on behalf of the respondents, learned counsel appearing for the second respondent submits that enquiry is completed and enquiry report is already submitted to the Disciplinary Authority. As the petitioner retired from service as early as on 28.02.2009 and as it is stated that the enquiry report is already submitted to the Disciplinary Authority, I deem it appropriate to direct the second respondent to pass final orders in pursuance of enquiry of disciplinary proceedings within a period of two {2} months form today. If, for any reason, final orders are not passed within the time stipulated, the leave salary due shall be paid to the petitioner. Subject to the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J) 27th April 2010 RRB
