Counsel for respondents No. 2 & 3 / Municipal Corporation fairly submits hat the petitioners being legal heirs of deceased-employee are entitled for leave encashment, which has not been given to them, though there is some delay in filing the representation / application for the same, instead of that deceased-employee was entitled for leave encashment, which will be granted to the petitioners being legal heirs of deceased-employee after due verification at the earliest. 4. In view of submission putforth by counsel for the parties and nature of dispute raised, this Court does not intend to keep the petition pending, accordingly ends of justice would meet if the respondents No. 2 & 3 / Municipal Corporation, Bilaspur is directed to consider and decide the representation of petitioners expeditiously, preferably within a period of 60 days from the date of production of copy of this order. 5.
