Whether approved for reporting? 1 For the Petitioner: Mr. Manohar Lal Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents: Mr. Vinod Kumar Gupta, Advocate. ____________________________________________________ Sandeep Sharma, Judge(oral): Precisely, the grouse of the petitioner, as has been highlighted in the petition and further canvassed by Mr. Manohar Lal Sharma, learned counsel representing the petitioner, is that sum of Rs.1,02,680/- is payable to him on account of arrears of regularization, but same is not being released on one pretext or the other. Though services of the petitioner were regularized in year 2020, but till date afore amount has not been released. 2. While referring to communication dated nil (Annexure P-4), Mr. Manohar Lal Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner, states that though Regional Manager, HRTC Baijnath, repeatedly 1Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2 requested Headquarter, HRTC to sanction the limit of Rs. 1,02,680/- to this office, enabling him to pay the petitioner, who is otherwise in need of money on account of marriage of his daughter, but fact remains that till date needful has not been done, as such petitioner has approached this Court in the instant proceedings, praying therein for the following main relief:- “(i) That the respondents may very kindly be directed to pay the arrears to the petitioner, amounting to Rs. 1,02,680/- with interest @ 9% per annum, from the due date till the date of its realization.” 2. Before reply, if any, could be received from the respondents, Mr. Vinod Kumar Gupta, Advocate, fairly states that afore amount, if not already paid, shall be paid expeditiously, preferably within two weeks from today. 3. Consequently, in view of the above, this Court sees no reason to keep the present petition alive and accordingly, the same is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to ensure that sum of Rs. 1,02,680/- is paid to the petitioner expeditiously, preferably within two weeks from today, failing which, he would be entitled to interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date afore amount fell due till its realization. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. (Sandeep Sharma), Judge July 29, 2025 (Sunil)
