Initially the writ application was filed by the petitioner for a direction to the respondent District Superintendent of Education, Muzaffarpur and the Mukhiya and Panchayat Secretary of Gram Panchayat Raj Pasauni, Raisi, Sahebgan, District Muzaffarpur for making payment of arrears of salary for the month of 2 January, 2007 and March 2009 to June, 2009 till date. The reason for non- payment of salary stated in the writ application is that the name of the School, where the petitioner was posted, was not correctly mentioned in the appointment letter of the petitioner. However, subsequently this clerical error was removed; but for this reason only salary is not being paid to the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner submits that during the pendency of the writ application the respondents have made payment of arrears of salary for the month of March, 2009 till date. She is also getting her month to month current salary. Now only salary for the period January, 2007 has not been paid. There is no reason for not making payment of salary for the period January, 2007, when the petitioner will be deemed to be entitled for salary to the subsequent month. The respondents are directed to make payment of salary for the period January, 2007 immediately. The writ application is being disposed off. (Mridula Mishra,J.) A.Kumar
