The prayer now is for arrears of salary of Matric trained scale inclusive of the revisions thereof that may have taken place from, time to time. The writ application is disposed with directions to respondent no. 2 to examine the grievance of the petitioner and if he holds that there is no justification in the claim he shall pass a reasoned and speaking order. In the event that he finds justification in the claim or a part of the claim, let appropriate orders be passed for payment of arrears to the petitioner. In that event respondent no. 2 shall simultaneously proceed to fix responsibility for the administrative lapses leading to institution of what was completely an avoidable litigation and burdening the High Court unnecessarily and proceed departmentally against the delinquent concerned. Let compliance of the claim of the petitioner be done by respondent no. 2 within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order.
