ORDER
This Contempt Petition has been filed to punish the respondent for non compliance of the order dated 26.11.2026, passed by this Court in W.P.No.45530 of 2025, thereby directing the respondents to disburse the encashment of the earned leave and leave on private affairs to the petitioner and insofar as the terminal benefits and other attendant benefits are concerned, directed the respondent to pass appropriate orders, within a period of eight weeks.
2. The learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submitted that, as directed by this Court, the respondents had disbursed the Special Provident Fund, encashment of earned leave and leave on private affairs to the petitioner. Insofar as the remaining terminal benefits are concerned, the same have not been settled owing to the pendency of an audit objection, which resulted in the initiation of surcharge proceedings.
Cont.P.No.1493 of 2026
3. Recording the above submissions, the Contempt Petition stands closed. The petitioner is at liberty to file fresh contempt petition subject to the result of the surcharge proceedings. 14.10.2026 Index : Yes/No Neutral Citation : Yes/No Speaking/Non Speaking order rts To
