CWP(T) No. 9664 of 2008 8.12.2010 Present: Mr. K.S. Banyal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shashi Shirshoo, Advocate, for the respondents. Facts are not in dispute. Petitioner submitted his resignation on 20th of January, 1978. This was accepted by the respondents on 24th of August, 1978, but with retrospective date i.e. 23rd of November, 1977. There is no dispute that the letter of resignation was dated 20th of January, 1978 itself. Consequently, there could not have been any acceptance of the resignation with the retrospective date. 2. Respondents in their reply have clarified that certain payments were made to the petitioner which fact is disputed by the petitioner himself. Be that as it may be, a direction is issued to the respondents to immediately release the payments due and admissible, if any, payable to the petitioner till the date of acceptance of his resignation. Needful shall be positively done within a period of three months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this judgment. 3. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition is dismissed.
