CORAM :DR.D.Y.CHANDRACHUD, J. April 24, 2008. P.C.: At the hearing of the petitions which have been instituted under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, to challenge 2 the orders passed by the School Tribunal on 10th March 2008, Counsel appearing on behalf of Respondent Nos.1 and 2 states on instructions that the two Petitioners in these proceedings would be reinstated in service, but that, should the management consider it appropriate and proper to do so, this shall not preclude the management from instituting a regular departmental enquiry in accordance with the Rules for unauthorsed absence. It has been stated that the Petitioners shall be reinstated within a period of one week from today. In view of the fair statement which has been made on behalf of Respondent Nos.1 and 2, Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioners does not press the claim for back wages from the date of the alleged termination (13th October 2006 in Writ Petition 2672 of 2008 and 11th October 2006 in Writ Petition 2670 of 2008) until the date 12th February 2007 (the date on which date the two Petitioners were reinstated during the pendency of the proceedings before the School Tribunal). The Petitioners would be entitled to payment of arrears of wages for the period for which they actually worked, in accordance with the rules and regulations. It has also been agreed 3 that non-payment of the back wages for the aforesaid period as noted above, shall not be regarded as break in service. In view of the agreed terms which have been arrived at between the parties and which have been reflected in the statement which has been made by Learned Counsel before the Court, the order passed by the School Tribunal on 10th March 2008 in Appeals 49 of 2006 and 50 of 2006 shall stand quashed and set aside and the appeals shall stand disposed of in terms of the settlement which has been arrived at in the aforesaid terms. Since no other point has been pressed on either side, the petitions shall stand disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ......
