In the aforesaid view of the matter, learned counsel for the petitioners does not press the interlocutory application stating that it has become infructuous. I.A.No. 3868 of 2011 is dismissed as infructuous. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that although the grievance of the petitioners with regard to payment of salary has been redressed by the Notification dated 24.5.2011 but till date no amount has been paid to the petitioners pursuant to the said Notification. In the above circumstances, the writ application is disposed of with a direction to the respondent University to make payment of salary to the petitioners in terms of the Notification dated 24.5.2011 within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and, if so required, then necessary requisition 3 must be sent to the State Government within two weeks and the authorities of the State Government shall ensure that the amounts are released within a period of four weeks thereafter.
