Petitioner has filed a detailed representation before the Principal Secretary, Road Construction Department making various claims for payment of salary for the period indicated therein. This representation has been filed just before his superannuation and since no decision was taken this writ petition has been filed after superannuation. Since there are various periods involved for which claims have been made and payments have not been made for many a reasons, which emerges from the record of the case, the authority would face difficulty. But things have to be reconciled and liability worked out in this regard. The Court expects that Principal Secretary would assign the responsibility to the concerned authority to put the entire service record of the petitioner together and take a decision with regard to the claim within a period of six months from the date of production/communication 2 of a copy of this order. What is admissible would be paid to the petitioner and what is not accepted would be communicated to him by a speaking order within the said time frame. This writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
