The said writ petition was disposed of by order dated 17/09/2008 (Annexure-16) by giving liberty to the Petitioner to file a fresh representation giving details of his claims and the Respondent C.C.L. as well as C.M.P.F., were directed to consider the claim of the Petitioner and pass an appropriate order in accordance with law and, thereafter, to pay the legal dues to the Petitioner with statutory interest within a period of two months. The operative portion of the aforesaid order is quoted herein below: Considering the said submissions, this writ petition is disposed of giving liberty to the Petitioner to file a fresh representation before concerned authorities of C.C.L. and C.M.P.F. giving details of his claim. On receipt of the representation the Respondent Nos. 1 and 3, who are said to be the concerned authorities of the C.C.L. and C.M.P.F. respectively shall consider the Petitioner's claim of their respective concern and pass appropriate order in accordance with law within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of the representation. If the Petitioner's claim or one or other claim is/are found genuine, the monetary benefits thereof must be paid to the Petitioner with statutory interest within a period of two months thereafter, if the amount payable to the Petitioner is/are not paid within the said period, the same shall carry an interest at the rate of 10% per annum till final payment in addition to the amount of statutory interest. If the Respondents intend to refuse any claim, they shall pass a reasoned order, if necessary after hearing the Petitioner, and communicate the same in writing to the Petitioner.

According to the Petitioner, he filed a chart showing the claim of amount under various heads, with supporting documents in connection with the said claim. The grievance of the Petitioner is that though his representation was disposed of by the Chairman-cum-Managing Director, C.C.L. vide order dated 02/02/2009, contained in Annexure-18 but the said orders suffers from the following serious infirmities: (a) In the impugned order, the claim of interest has wrongly been mentioned as 18% though the Petitioner claimed statutory interest at the rate of 10%. (b) The claim for leave traveling allowance, retiring traveling allowance, underground allowance and excess deduction of provident fund by CCL has not been considered and against earned leave and sick leave encashment, the same has wrongly been partly allowed. (c) No order for payment of amount of Rs. 1, 79,068.40/-has been passed. (d) No order has been passed on the point of interest and the amount of Rs. 1,79,068.40 has been wrongly sought to be adjusted against illegal demand of panel rent and the Petitioner has wrongly been directed to deposit a sum of Rs. 7,97,568.48/-.;
