THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON
05.02.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WPC 29915/12
3
JUDGMENT
The petitioner has approached this Court
seeking that Ext.P7 be quashed and that the 4 th
respondent be directed to disburse her salary,
pending finalisation of Ext.P6 Revision by the
1st respondent-State.
2. I notice that when this matter was
considered by this Court on 01.01.2013, the
following interim order had been issued:
Admit. Issue urgent notice
returnable in 10 days to the
respondents.
If as claimed by the petitioner her appointment as UPSA was approved with effect from 01.06.2011 by order dated 03.03.2012 passed by the District Educational Officer, Palakkad and the appointment of the 6th respondent also stands approved with effect from that date, I find no reason why payment of salary and allowances Should be denied to both of them. I accordingly direct respondents 1 to 5 to take steps to draw and disburse salary and allowances to the petitioner as well as the 6th respondent with effect from 01.06.2011. arrears of salary and allowances shall be drawn and disbursed to both of them expeditiously and in any event within an outer limit of three weeks from the date on which the petitioner produces a copy of this order before the fourth respondent. WPC 29915/12
Handover to the learned counsel for the petitioner today itself.
3. It is stated by the learned counsel
for the 7th respondent - Sri.Thomas Kutty, that
the interim order has been complied with and
that Ext.P6 Revision has been dismissed
through a Government Order dated 24.04.2013.
4. Obviously, therefore, nothing survives
in this Writ Petition since, if the petitioner
has any further grievance, she will have to
challenge the aforementioned order of the
Government appropriately.
In the afore circumstances, confirming the
interim order afore extracted, I dispose of
this Writ Petition, leaving liberty to the
petitioner to invoke and pursue all her
remedies, as she is advised, against the order
of the Government issued on Ext.P6 Revision,
if it is so warranted.
