( Oral ) This order shall dispose of CWPs No. 15668 of 2008 and 11938 of 2009, as the common questions of law and facts are involved in CWP No. 15668 of 2008 -2- both these petitions. In these petitions, the petitioners are seeking direction to R.D. Arya Girls High School, Karnal (hereinafter referred to as `the respondent school') to release their salary for the period from July, 2006 to 21.1.2008 (in CWP No. 15668 of 2008) and from August, 2006 to 31.8.2007 (in CWP No. 11938 of 2009) as well as other retiral benefits. In the written statement, filed in CWP No. 15668 of 2008, it is the stand of the respondent school that salary of the petitioner could not be paid because the Management did not receive the grant-in-aid from the Government. Learned State Counsel, on instructions from Shri Balbir Singh, Assistant in the Office of Director, School Education, states that two instalments of grant-in-aid have already been released to the respondent school and the remaining will be released within a reasonable time. Counsel for the respondent school states that on the basis of the grant-in-aid received by the school, part of the salary and other dues have already been released to the petitioners and the remaining amount will be released to them as soon as the grant-in-aid will be received by the respondent school from the State Government. In view of the said statement made by learned State Counsel, learned counsel for the petitioner states that he does not want to press these petitions at this stage. Dismissed as not pressed.
