Ms. Kirti Sharma, Advocate for Mr. Sumit Jain, Advocate for the respondents. **** AMAN CHAUDHARY, J. (Oral) 1. Learned counsel submits that interest on delayed release of earned leave has not been paid with regard to which a legal notice dated 02.05.2024, Annexure P-10, has been served upon the respondents, which has yet not evoked any response. He, on instructions, prays that a direction may be given to the respondents to decide the same in a time bound manner. 2. Learned counsel for the respondents has no objection to the limited prayer made. 3. In view of the above and without commenting upon the merits of the case, this petition is hereby disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider and decide the legal notice, Annexure P10, after granting opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, within a period of 6 months, in accordance with law, which this Court has no reason to believe the authorities would not address in a just, fair and reasonable manner. 4. Upon doing so, if found entitled, grant the benefit forthwith. Needless to say, if the orders are adverse to his interest, the same shall contain reasons and the petitioner shall be free to seek legal redress thereupon.
