1.
The following order was passed on 29.05.2026:
“Learned counsel for the respondent has submitted that in pursuance of order dated 22.10.2024 passed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court, a detailed speaking order dated 27.05.2026 has been passed. A copy of the said speaking order has been handed over to this Court during the course of arguments which is taken on record and marked as Mark “A” and a copy of the same has also been given to learned counsel for the petitioner.
Learned counsel for the respondent has submitted that as per the calculation of the respondent and as per the said speaking order, the petitioner is entitled to an amount of Rs.10,04,640/-, out of which, an amount of Rs.2,00,000/- has been paid and a prayer has been made for granting time to pay the balance amount.
A perusal of the order dated 22.10.2024 passed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court would show that the Coordinate Bench had specifically observed that after passing of the speaking order, whatever has been found due to the petitioner, same has to be released within a period of three weeks thereafter. Thus, no further period beyond three weeks can be granted in the present case.
Adjourned to 06.07.2026.
In case the amount due as found by the respondent in the speaking order dated 27.05.2026 is not paid by the next date of hearing, then, respondent is directed to appear before this Court on the next date of hearing for further action.

submitted that even an amount of Rs.10,04,640/- which has been finally stated to be payable to the petitioner is much lesser than his entitlement.”
