P.C. : Counsel appearing for the Respondent states that there is no reduction in the pay of the Petitioner. It was submitted that as a matter of fact the Petitioner had proceeded on half pay leave and since by default full pay was paid, that is being adjusted. The claim of the Petitioner relates to grant of stipend during the training period in terms of Section 47. In view of the stand taken, it is not necessary for us to interfere in the petition. The Respondent shall furnish the details of the amount which is sought to be adjusted and has been adjusted on account of payment of full salary for the period during which the 2 Petitioner was on half pay leave. Secondly, they shall also give reasons as to why the Petitioner is not entitled to receive the pay/stipend during the training period. We also direct the Respondent to consider the claim of the Petitioner in relation to the payment of dues. The claim of salary deduction as well as of the payment of dues during the training period shall be considered by the Respondent objectively and in accordance with the provisions of Section 47. No rules have been brought to our notice which empower the Respondent to deny dues to the Petitioner for the training period which was in furtherance of the order of the Ophthalmic Surgeon dated 6th April 2007. If any application is made, the same be considered and final order be passed after hearing the Petitioner within four weeks. The Writ Petition is disposed of. CHIEF JUSTICE Dr.D.Y. CHANDRACHUD, J.
