Petitioner had earlier worked as Food Inspector at Karunagappally and Thiruvannathapuram Circles. T.A Bills raised by the petitioner in relation to the period from February 2001 to July 2006 for a total amount of Rs. 97,411/- is pending clearance and the amount has not been disbursed to him so far. Petitioner submits that bill includes travelling expenses of the staff attached to the office of the Food Inspector. 2. Learned Senior Government Pleader, on instruction, submits that apparently the petitioner was not vigilant in submitting the T.A Bill in time and therefore, at this stage, the allotment of funds must be preceded by a sanction from the Government. In other words, a decision will have to be taken by the Government. Petitioner submitted Exhibit P3 before the Government and the same is pending. W.P ( C) No. 18279 of 2008 2 In the result, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to look into Exhibit P3 and take a decision thereon in the matter of sanctioning the payment of T.A. Bill. Once the Government takes a decision which they may do within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, the same shall be forwarded to the 1st respondent who shall take steps to disburse the amount found due and admissible, within two months thereafter.
