JUDGMENT The petitioners herein are Lecturers in Chemistry in S.N. College, Kannur. They were appointed by separate appointment orders, viz. Exts.P1 and P2. The Kannur University has approved the appointments as per Ext.P3. This writ petition is filed seeking for a direction to the Deputy Director of Collegiate Education to disburse the salary, in the light of the principles stated by this court in Cherian Mathew v. Principal, S.B. College, Changanassery (1998 (3) ILR 1) and Shalini Rachel v. Manager, Christian College (2007 (3) KLT 355). 2. By interim order dated 6.6.2011, this Court directed the third respondent to sanction salary to the petitioners including arrears, on the first respondent forwarding the bills for payment of salary, within a period of one month. Thereafter, alleging non compliance of the said direction, the petitioners filed C.O.(C) No.827/2011, wherein, by a separate order this Court, after noticing that the Deputy Director has already sanctioned the payment of salary, has closed the said contempt case. 3. In the light of the fact that already steps have been taken for wpc 14370/2011 2 disbursement of salary and the bills have been countersigned by the Deputy Director of Collegiate Education, the writ petition is disposed of recording that salary including arrears will be disbursed expeditiously and the monthly salary will be disbursed from time to time. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
