WP(C) 2546/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T VAIPHEI Heard Mr JUNM Laskar, the learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr J Abedin, th e learned standing counsel for the Education Department. Also heard Mr B Gogoi, the learned standing counsel for the Finance Department. The writ petition is about non-payment of salary arrear of the p etitioner amounting to Rs.62,975/-. The petitioner retired on 31.03.2003 as assi stant teacher LP School of 277 Hatirhar Maktab School under the B.E.E.O. Lakhimp ur. His pension was regularized by the Director of Pension, Assam vide memo date d 10.03.2005 issued to the Treasury Officer, Silchar. On 11.02.2011, this Court had directed the respondents No.3 & 4 to appear in person on 04.03.2011 along with the relevant records. The responden ts No.3 & 4 duly appeared before this Court on 04.03.2011 and gave their assuran ce that sanction for the salary arrear would be given within a period of one mon th and once the sanction was received, payment would be made to the petitioner. This was apparently not done. However, on 06.04.2011, the learned standing counsel for the Education Departmen t produced before this Court the letter dated 05.04.2011 of the respondent No.3 to show that Rs.62,975/- had been sanctioned for payment to the petitioner vide order dated 23.03.2011 and that steps were being taken to draw the sanctioned am ount from the Treasury Office for payment to the petitioner. Since then, this Co urt had adjourned the hearing of the case from time to time to enable the respon dent authorities to release the salary arrear to the petitioner. The learned sta nding counsel has produced before me today a copy of the letter dated 28.07.2011 issued by the respondent No.3 addressed to him indicating therein that the sala ry arrear could not be released due to shortage of time as financial year 2010-2 011 was coming to an end by then. It is also stated therein that a fresh proposa l has been submitted to the Govt. for re-sanctioning the said amount vide Office letter dated 21.05.2011, but the same could not be sanctioned as yet due to non receipt of budget communication from the Finance Department. Mr B Gogoi, the learned standing counsel for the Finance Department has informed this Court on instruction that the Finance Department had also agreed to sancti on the salary arrear of the petitioner on the basis of the proposal submitted by the Education Department. In my opinion, on the basis of the aforesaid letters, this writ petition does no t survive for consideration as the claim of the petitioner has now been conceded by the State respondents. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of by direc ting the respondents No.3 & 5 to complete the process for payment of the salary arrear of the petitioner and disburse the same to him within a period of two mon ths from the date of receipt of this order. A copy of this order be furnished to the learned standing counsel for the Educat ion Department as well as the learned standing counsel for the Finance Departmen t for immediate communication and necessary compliance.
