1 ca11701.08 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 11701 OF 2008 IN LETTERS PATENT APPEAL NO. 179 OF 2008 _________________________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | appearances, Court's | orders or | Court's or Judge's Orders directions and | Registrar's orders | _________________________________________________________________________________ Shri V.D. Hon, Advocate for the applicants. Shri K.G. Patil, A.G.P. for respondent/State. Shri C.K. Shinde, Advocate for respondent no.5. ..... CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE & SHRI M.T. JOSHI, JJ. Date : 28th June, 2011. . In our view, there is no need to grant any interim relief in favour of the applicants/appellants. This is because, while dealing with a similar challenge raised by some of the colleges before the Division Bench of this Court in Writ Petitions, which were decided on 09th June, 2010, the Division Bench dismissed those Writ Petitions and directed payment of encashment of leave to the retired lecturers. 2. It appears that the affected colleges then approached the Apex Court by filing several Special Leave Petitions. Notice has been issued in these Petitions. Interim stay of the order of the High Court was 2 ca11701.08 granted by the Supreme Court in respect of those cases where the employees had retired three years prior to the date of filing of the respective Writ Petitions. 3. Accordingly, those employees who were entitled to leave encashment and had filed an application within a period of three years prior to the date of filing of the respective Writ Petitions, have been directed to be paid the amount. 4. It is primary responsibility of the colleges to pay the amount to its employees. In these circumstances, we direct the appellant to pay the amount, to which the respondent is entitled to, by way of leave encashment within a period of three months from today. The appellant may also submit the pay bills for leave encashment to the State in order to get reimbursement of the amount paid to the respondent-employee i.e. respondent no.5. The Civil Application disposed of, accordingly. ( M. T. JOSHI, J. ) (NISHITA MHATRE, J) ga s/ca11701.08
