PATIL AND K.U. CHANDWAL, JJ. DATE : 10TH DECEMBER, 2009. PER COURT : 1. Leave to add the Joint Director, Higher and Technical Education, as party Respondent. 2. The Petitioner admittedly worked with the Respondent No.3 college between the period from 1st September, 2007 to 18th March, 2008. The Petitioner was not continued in service later on as the approval was refused by the Joint Director. The Petitioner's grievance is in respect of non payment of salary for the aforementioned period during which she discharged her services as a lecturer. 3. The learned counsel appearing for Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 submits that proposal for payment of salary bill is already submitted with the Joint 3 Director but so far the Joint Director has not communicated anything to the Respondents in respect of the proposal. The Respondent nos. 2 and 3 are getting grant in aid and therefore, according to the counsel, salary of the Petitioner is required to be paid by the State Government. 4. In the facts of the case, we find that the Petitioner admittedly discharged her duties as lecturer for the aforesaid period with the Respondent Nos. 2 and 3. The primary responsibility and liability is on the Respondent No.2 to disburse the salary of the Petitioner. The Respondent No.2 has already forwarded the proposal with the Joint Director on 30th July, 2009. 5. We therefore, direct the Respondent No.2 to pay the salary of the Petitioner for the period during which she discharged her duties as lecturer, within eight weeks from today, by account payee cheque. We direct the Joint Director, Higher and Technical Education, 4 Aurangabad to pass appropriate orders on the proposal, if any, pending for disbursement of payments towards salary grants of the Petitioner, within eight weeks from today. 6. With these directions, Writ Petition is disposed of. [K.U. CHANDIWAL, J.] [NARESH H. PATIL,J.] asb/DEC09/wp4401.09
