1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 7184 OF 2008 Madhukar S/o Limbabhai Bhavsar .. Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra and others .. .. Respondents Shri V. D. Sapkal, Advocate for the Petitioner. Shri S. K. Tambe, Advocate for the Respondent No. 1. Shri K. D. Bade Patil, Advocate for the Respondent No. 2. Shri D. S. Bagul, Advocate for the Respondent No. 4. Respondent No. 3 served. CORAM : B. R. GAVAI, AND N. D. DESHPANDE, JJ. DATE : 23RD SEPTEMBER, 2009. ORAL ORDER [Per B. R. Gavai, J. ] : 1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard by consent. 2. It is grievance of the petitioner that, the petitioner has not been paid arrears of salary as per his entitlement by the respondent 2 No. 3 and 4. The petitioner had earlier approached to the grievance committee. The grievance committee in so far as the grievance of the petitioner regarding issuance of certificate of experience is concerned has allowed prayer of petitioner by issuing directions to that effect. In so far as the second grievance of the petitioner regarding arrears of salary is concerned, the grievance committee has recommended that, if there are any arrears of salary due to be paid on the basis of the pay scale mutually agreed upon by the complainant and the college, the same should be paid. 3. Thus, it is clear that, the grievance committee has not taken any decision as to whether, there are any arrears payable by the respondent No. 3 and 4 to the petitioner and if there are arrears payable, as to what is the quantum. 4. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No. 2 makes a statement that, such a decision could not be taken since the petitioner has not produced relevant data on the date of issuance of directions by the committee. This position is seriously disputed by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner. We find it appropriate in the interest of justice to direct the grievance committee i. e. respondent No. 2 to reconsider the grievance of the petitioner. The petitioner so also the respondent management is at liberty to produce material in their support before the grievance committee. If such material is placed, the grievance committee shall decide the grievance of the petitioner in the light of directions made above. It is expected that, the grievance of the petitioner shall be 3 decided as expeditiously as possible and in any case within a period of three months from today. Rule made absolute in above terms with no order as to costs. [ N. D. DESHPANDE, J.] [ B. R. GAVAI, J.] bsb/Sept. 09
