Mr.Surendra Mohan, learned counsel for the review petitioner submits that the wages are to be paid by the Hospital Management Committee and District Panchayt is not in a position to make the payment. If the obligation to pay the wages is on the Hospital Management, that it is open to the petitioner Panchayat, to issue suitable direction to the Management Committee to see that the wages are paid to the writ petitioners. But it is the responsibility of the Jilla Panchayat to see that the writ petitioners receive the wages. I make it clear that the direction issued in this behalf in the judgment, which is sought to be reviewed, will remain intact. District Panchayat is granted six weeks' time to make the payment as directed in the judgment. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
