WP(C) 6408/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE H. BARUAH Heard Mr. JUNM Laskar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms. Gogoi Medhi, l earned Standing counsel, Education Department for the official respondents, who accepts notice on their behalf. The instant writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Cons titution of India seeking a direction to the respondent authorities to release t he petitioner’s arrear salaries from June, 2009 to February, 2010 with interest as admissible under the law and with a further direction to the respondent No.6 to take appropriate steps for releasing of the arrear salaries of the petitioner . It is noticed from the record of this proceeding that petitione r originally after his appoint as Assistant Teacher served in Berenga Hemluchan Govt. Sr. Basic School, Cachar. He was frequently transferred from one School t o another by authority by various transfer orders. It would be appropriate to n ote that the petitioner even after transfer used to receive monthly salary from Berenga School. On account of transfer by order dated 27.5.2009 and non payment of salary the petitioner approached this court by filing a writ petition being WP(C) No. 4500/2009 praying setting aside of the order dated 27.5.2009 and for a direction to the respondent authorities to release his arrear salaries. This court while disposing the aforesaid writ petition vide order dated 30.11.09 directed to maintain status quo and issued direction to the respondent authorities to release the arrear salary for the intervening period. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that i n spite of such direction to release arrear salaries for the intervening period, despite representation, the concerned Headmaster did not release the arrear sa laries payable to the petitioner. Now, by filing this writ petition the petition er has urged for a direction to the appropriate authorities and the Headmaster c oncerned to release his arrear salaries for the intervening period from June, 20 09 to February, 2010. Since the issue has already been decided in a writ petition bein g W.P(c) No. 4500/09, the same issue cannot be decided in the subsequent writ pe tition and would be barred by Section 11 of the CPC. In this view of the matter , this court finds that this writ petition is barred by principle of res judicat a. It is brought to the notice of this court that despite order dat ed 30.11.09 passed in WP(C) No. 4500/09 on account of non-release of the arrear salary, the petitioner has not preferred any contempt petition for willful disob edience of the order. In that view of the matter, though limitation period has a lready elapsed, the petitioner would be at liberty to file a contempt petition, if so advised. With the above observations, the writ petition stands disposed o f.
