(Cause-title taken from Case Information System) For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Kaustubh Singh Thakur, Advocate For State/Respondent(s) : Mr. Suyashdhar Badgaiya, Dy.

Government Advocate

Hon'ble Shri Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad

Order on Board

14/01/2025

1. Heard.

2. By way of this writ petition, the petitioners have prayed for

following reliefs:

"(I) That this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to allow the present writ petition preferred by the petitioner and call for the records of the entire case pertaining to the grant of leave encashment and other consequential benefits to the petitioners.

(ii) That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the Respondents by issuing appropriate writ/order/direction to the Respondents authorities to grant the benefit of leave encashment to work-charged and contingency employees on their retirement in accordance with the statutory rules, regulations and circulars issued by the State Government and also on

the basis of judgment dated 30-09-2022 passed by this Hon'ble Court in WPS No. 3870/2021.

(iii) Alternatively, this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to further direct the respondent authorities to act on the representation submitted by the petitioners within a reasonable period of time in accordance with the statutory rules and circulars and on the basis of judgment dated 30-09- 2022 passed by this Hon'ble Court in WPS No. 3870/2021.

(iv) That any other relief which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and necessary in the interest of justice may kindly be awarded.

(v) That the Cost of the petition may kindly also be awarded to the petitioner.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the respective

petitioners were permanent employees of work- charged

Establishment of Public Works Department of the Government of

Chhattisgarh. They were paid regular pay and dearness

allowances, medical allowances like House Rent, City

Compensatory allowances, medical allowance, earned leave,

casual leave as revised from time to time during their service and

pension and gratuity etc on retirement from service as are

admissible to other permanent employees of the comparable

status of the regular establishment of the Respondent State. The

petitioners were appointed in the work charged establishment of

the Public Works Department initially on temporary basis but after

10 years of the service they have become permanent employees

of the Work charged Establishment. All the petitioners have been

retired from the services through various orders. During their

service, the petitioners were worked as work charged/

contingency paid employees in the respondents department

therefore, leave credited in the account of the work charged /

contingency paid employees deserved to get encashment.

Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that in the light

of judgment passed by this Court in Writ Petition (S) No.3870 of

2021 (Faguvaram Patel & Ors. Vs. State of Chhattisgarh &

Ors.) and other connected matters decided on 30.09.2022, the

petitioners are entitled for leave encashment.

4. Learned State counsel submits that sufficient documents have not

been filed by the petitioners and it is also not reflected as to

whether the petitioners have completed the minimum period of

service to avail the benefit of leave encashment.

5. I have heard learned counsel for parties and perused the

documents available in record.

6. Be that as it may, without commenting anything on the merits, this

petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioners to make

detailed representation before the concerned

respondent/competent authority within the period of '30 days'

from the date of receipt of copy of this order with all necessary

documents to substantiate their claim. In the event of filing of

representation, on due verification, if the petitioners are found to

be similarly situated persons, as in the case of Faguvaram Patel

(surpa), their claim shall be decided by the respondents in light of

judgment of Faguvaram Patel (Supra) expeditiously preferably

within the period of '90 days' from the date of submission of their

said representation.

7. Accordingly, this petition stands disposed of with aforesaid

observations and directions.
