This Court, by order dated 04.03.2011, had directed the respondents to file a counter affidavit and produce a final decision taken on the application of 2 the petitioner by the next date. Respondents have filed a counter affidavit along with which the order of the Director, Secondary Education dated 11.02.2011 has been annexed as Annexure-A. By this order, request of the petitioner for voluntary retirement has been accepted from the date of filing of her application i.e. on 14.08.2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no orders have been passed for payment of arrears of salary to the petitioner and retiral benefits. He submits that on account of old age of her mother and she having become bed-ridden and petitioner being the only person to look after her mother, she had submitted her application for voluntary retirement. Hence, petitioner is in dire need of money and the respondents should be directed to pay all the arrears of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible. The submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is correct. From Annexure-3 it appears that petitioner had submitted her application for 3 voluntary retirement on account of difficulty being faced by her in looking after her old age and bed-ridden mother. In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the Director, Secondary Education to see to it that all the dues of arrears of salary of petitioner are paid to her positively within two months from the date of receipt / production of a copy of this order. The Director, Secondary Education shall also see to it that petitioner’s retiral benefits are calculated, fixed and its arrears are paid within the said two months.
