(iii)Pass any further order(s) as this Hon’ble Tribunal may deems fit and proper for in the interest of justice.”
The brief facts of the case are that the applicant was initially appointed as Safai Karamchari on regular basis in East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) on 10.12.1980 and he retired from service on 31.05.2018 on attaining the age of superannuation. According to the applicant, since no promotion has been granted to him during the entire tenure, he is entitled for 1st and 2nd MACP in terms of the recommendations of 6th and 7th CPC as per the circular issued by the Finance Department, Govt. of NCT of Delhi; and also for payment of retiral dues and the amount of Rs. 2,38,015/- withheld by the respondents as mentioned in the PPO.
The applicant contends that he made a representation dated 19.01.2021 in this behalf. However, no action has been taken thereon by the respondents so far.
Today, I heard Mr. Anirudh Sharma, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Sahib Gurdeep Singh, learned counsel appeared on behalf of the respondents, at the stage of admission, through video conferencing.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant would be satisfied, if the respondents are directed to consider his representation dated 19.01.2021 and to pass a reasoned and speaking order thereon, in a time bound manner. There is no objection to this by the learned counsel for the respondents.
Accordingly, the O.A. is disposed of at the admission stage itself, without going into the merits of the case, with a direction to the respondents to consider the representation dated 19.01.2021 of the applicant and to pass a reasoned and speaking order, as early as possible, and in any case not later than 10 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs.
