Respondents ----------- 3. 17.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. It appears that by earlier orders of the Bihar Sanskrit Education Board (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Board’) dated 06.11.2007 and 19.11.2007, payment of salary of the employees of Vani Bhushan Sanskrit Primary School was stopped on account of continuing dispute in respect of the Headmaster of the school. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the said orders have been withdrawn by the Board vide letter dated 03.02.2010 as contained in Annexure-9 and 2 order for release of salary of the teachers has been issued. He submits that the teachers are being now paid current salary but in respect of arrears of salary, a little difficulty is that the fund has been transferred to the District Education Officer, Jehanabad whereas the same should have been sent to the District Education Officer, Arwal within whose jurisdiction the school situates. Learned counsel for the petitioner has produced one letter dated 22.07.2010 of the Board addressed to the District Education Officer, Jehanabad from which it appears that the District Education Officer, Jehanabad has been requested to take steps for payment of arrears of salary of the teachers of the school as the fund has been received by him during the period when the post of District Education Officer, Arwal was vacant and the District Education Officer, Jehanabad was looking after the affairs of the office of the District Education Officer, Arwal. It is expected that the District Education Officer, Jehanabad shall act according to the instructions of the Board dated 22.07.2010 as expeditiously as possible. 3 The writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions.
