JOSEPH, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.C NO. 31479 OF 2006 V --------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th November, 2006 JUDGMENT Heard learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. Case of petitioner is that she was placed under the Senior Scale vide Ext.P4 with effect from 11.9.1999. However, salary of petitioner has not been disbursed. The fifth respondent Principal sent Ext.P5 communication to fourth respondent, Deputy Director of Collegiate Education. Petitioner addressed Ext.P6 before fourth respondent. In such circumstances, I feel that a decision should be taken in the matter by fourth respondent within a time limit. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing fourth respondent to consider and take a decision on Exts.P5 and P6 in accordance with law, within a period of one month from the date of production of a copy of this Judgment.
