Manickam.P v. The Government of Tamil Nadu

O R D E R Heard the learned counsel on either side.

¶2The petitioner is a retired employee of the respondent Corporation. He had 120 days leave to his credit. He wanted to surrender the same and encash it. By the impugned order, his request was not accepted.

¶3It has been held in a catena of decisions that the petitioner is entitled to surrender leave salary. One such order has been enclosed in the typed set of papers. There is no reason to deny the benefit of 3 W.P.(MD)NO.8117 OF 2023 surrender leave salary to the petitioner. The order impugned in this writ petition is set aside. Respondents 2 and 3 are directed to disburse the surrender leave salary to the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. I consciously refrain from quantifying the exact figure. This writ petition stands allowed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
