12. In W P No.519/2013 the respondent has contended in the statement of objections that not accepting the order passed in the writ petition, both the petitioner and respondent preferred respective writ appeals. Therefore, the petitioner cannot claim benefits from the order passed in W P No.20484/2007. After disposal of writ appeals on 25.8.2011, CCC No.2076/2011 was filed by the petitioner and during pendency of the same, petitioner was reinstated by the order dated 26.11.2011. With regard to pension, it is stated, petitioner's date of resumption of service in the Bank is reckoned with effect from 16.06.2010 for the purpose of continuity of service and the consequential benefits. The Bank is agreeable to extend pension option to the petitioner under staff circular 5690 dated 27.8.2010 upon his fulfilling conditions laid down under the said staff circular. The Bank also agreed to treat the period between the date of his compulsory retirement till his reporting to duties as extraordinary leave on loss of pay as requested by the petitioner. The Bank had restored all the leave and treated the said period as extraordinary leave on loss of pay. Out of PF credit of Rs.11,66,926.08, the respondent bank adjusted Rs.7,61,800.00 towards the two housing loans availed by the petitioner. The petitioner had withdrawn Rs.4,05,126.08 on 04.08.2007 from S B Account by cheque No.40301. Reopening of housing loan of the petitioner and pension option to be considered are interlinked by the petitioner himself in the representation. It is stated, petitioner has to contribute @ 2.8 times of revised pay for 2007 that is, Rs.93,240/- + 900 (stag. Increment) + Rs.900 (FPP) and repay Rs.4,05,126.08 with interest at 8.5% in order to ascertain PF & VPF payable to the petitioner upon reopening of housing loan and pension option being given. Till date, petitioner has failed to comply these conditions. Unless he complies these conditions, Bank cannot process the same. Since the petitioner was not entitled to back wages, the bank passed order at Annexure-C treating the period from the date of compulsory retirement till reinstatement as extraordinary leave without pay and allowance. Thus the respondent bank has prayed for dismissal of the writ petition pertaining thereto also.
