Encashment of Earned Leave at Retirement – Maharashtr Open University, Nasik
Encashment of Earned Leave At the time of Retirement – YB Chavan Open University Nasik
Judgment dated 6.8.2026 of the High Court of Bombay (AS) in Civil Writ Petition No.8133 of 2016 of Anuradha Deshmukh Vs. Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University through its Registrar and others
Resolution dated 10.10.2015 of the Board of Management of the Respondent no.1 Open University refusing to grant encashment of earned leave at the time of retirement.
The petitioner was appointed as Lecturer in 1990 from respondent no.1 and retired on superannuation as Professor in 2014.
The Open University does not receive any government grant.
From the above discussion, what is gathered is the teaching faculty is working in vacation department and as such they are not entitled for earned leave. At the same time, this Petitioner has not availed of vacation till 2013 and it is undisputed. If that is so then Board of Management was not justified in refusing the prayer for encashment of the earned leave.
