“10.1 That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the respondents to present the attendance register of the petitioner and all the records related to the service period till now before the Hon'ble Court. 10.2 That, the respondents should be
directed to provide necessary benefits of prescribed weekly leave to the petitioner and make him take duty as per the prescribed duration/hours as per the rules. And take immediate action to give payment as per rules il lieu of duty performed in weekly holidays and extra duty taken till now. 10.3 Any other relief or reliefs may also be granted to the petitioner which this Hon'ble court deems fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.”
2. The limited grievance that the petitioner has in the present writ petition is in respect of non-granting of weekly off which the petitioner is otherwise entitled for.
3.
Learned counsel appearing for respondents submits that the petitioner at times because of administrative exigency is required to work on weekly off day. However, in case the petitioner is made to work on weekly off day, he was suitably paid for the said extra work discharged by him.
4. Be that as it may, since the grievance is only in respect of non- granting of weekly off to petitioner, the present writ petition, at this juncture, stands disposed of directing the petitioner to approach
3 the respondents by way of a suitable representation in respect of his grievance and the respondent authorities in turn may consider the same in accordance with the rules governing the field particularly in respect of the claim for weekly off. Let the respondents consider and settle the grievance of petitioner at the earliest in accordance with law.
5. Needless to mention that in case the petitioner is made to discharge his duties on weekly off days, under the rules governing the field the petitioner should be compensated either by granting compensatory leave or by granting appropriate monetary benefits if the rules so provides or whatever the Rules provide.
6. With the aforesaid observation the writ petition stands disposed of
