HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR.NARAYAN ROY HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Mr. M.S. Raghaw AAG for the appellants. *** Heard learned counsel for the appellants. The delay in filing this appeal is condoned. By the impugned order, the learned Single Judge of this Court directed the respondent-State authorities to pay stipend to the writ petitioner as per the decision taken by the State Government on 8.7.1997 for the extended period of training. The writ petitioner was undergoing training in Post Graduate Degree Course. During course of training, she was paid the permissible stipend. However, the training period was extended beyond 36 months but stipend was not paid to her. Consequent thereof, she approached this Court in writ jurisdiction. The learned Single Judge of this Court in view of the decision taken by the State Government in its meeting dated 8.7.1997 and also considering the fact that similarly situated students were paid the stipend for the extended period directed the State authorities to make the payment of such stipend with interest @ 6% per annum to the writ petitioner. -2- Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellants however is not in a position to point out any error in the impugned order nor it is his case that stipend as such was not payable to the writ petitioner. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, therefore, we do not find any merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ),J. (NARAYAN ROY),CJ. Skant/-
