Counsel representing the Municipal Corporation, Rohtak submits that the salary of the petitioner for the duration he served at Rohtak, has been released. This fact is not disputed by the counsel for the petitioner. Presently, the petitioner is serving at Bahadurgarh. The counsel representing Municipal Council, Fatehabad, submits that last pay certificate has not been issued and accordingly, the Civil Writ Petition No. 8569 of 2010 -2- full salary of the petitioner could not be released. However the petitioner was released the salary at the minimum rate. This fact is also not disputed by the counsel for the petitioner. LPC has now been released by the Municipal Corporation, Rohtak and accordingly, counsel representing the Municipal Council, Fatehabad, undertakes to release the balanced salary of the petitioner within two weeks from today. Counsel for the petitioner is justified in making a grievance that the petitioner is being made to approach this Court for release of his salary time and again. This arrangement is highly undesirable. The person, would need salary for his survival.
