JUDGMENT
Dated this the 28th day of February, 2025
[W.P.(C) Nos.32433 of 2023 and 9042 & 45568 of 2024]
These writ petitions have been filed by Guest Lecturers,

respondents to pay the salary to the petitioners for the period
they have worked as Assistant Professors in various
Departments.
2. When these writ petitions came up for hearing
today, Government Pleader made available a copy of the
Government Order G.O.(Ms.)No.51/2025/HEDN dated
24.01.2025 of the Higher Education (D) Department, whereby
the Government has sanctioned ₹50,74,900/- towards arrears

2025:KER:17173
WP(C) NO.32433 of 2023 & con.cases
during 2018-2019 to 2022-2023. By passing of this order, the
reliefs sought for by the petitioners stand substantially
complied with.
3. Counsel for the petitioners submits that unless the
salary arrears are paid to the petitioners, the grievance will
subsist.
In the facts and circumstances of these cases, the writ
petitions are disposed of directing respondents 2, 3 and 5 to
disburse the amounts found due to the petitioners as
expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of
three months.
