Heard learned Counsel for the parties.

¶17

The 3^rd Respondent being an aided institution, leave encashment amount was paid by the State Government directly to the Petitioner.

¶18

From the reply filed by Respondent Nos.1 and 2, the reason for the delay in submitting the papers to the State Government is a dispute between two warring fractions claiming management of Respondent No.1 and Respondent No.2. As regards the State Government, suffice it to note that to the State Government the Petitioner made a representation for the first time on 29.11.2010. Thereafter, papers were processed. Delay cannot be attributed to the State Government and thus, liability on account of delayed payment cannot be fastened on the State Government.

¶19

On fixation of liability on the 1^st and 2^nd Respondents, working as a Head Master, irrespective of the dispute between the two warring fractions claiming the right to manage the affairs of the 1^st and 2^nd Respondents, it was for the Petitioner to ensure that he submits the requisite documents to the State Government. The Head Master of the school is the administrative head of the school.

¶20

Under the circumstances, we find no reason to direct any interest

¶21

to be paid to the Petitioner for the belated leave encashment payment made to him.
