J U D G M E N T Petitioner is presently working as Junior Language Teacher (Arabic) in Government Upper Primary School, Thuravoor in Alappuzha district. In fact she was appointed at Anadi Lower Primary School, Vaikom in Kottayam District with effect from July 15, 1982 which is an aided institution, and the appointment was against a regular vacancy. However on March 11, 1986, she was discharged from the school as a protected teacher. Thereafter on March 12, 1986 she was appointed in Government High School, Kuttampuzha. Finally she was transferred to T.D. Government L.P.School at Thuravoor in Alappuzha district. In between she had worked in several other Government schools as a protected teacher. She is now continuing at Thuravoor as mentioned earlier. The grievance of the petitioner is that she is not being paid salary since August 2004. 2. In the counter affidavit it is averred by respondent No.3 that the petitioner has to draw her salary and allied benefits from her parent school viz., Anadi L.P. School, Vaikom after getting the attendance certificate from the school she is now working. It is also averred that directions have already been issued to the Deputy Director of Education, Kottayam in this regard. Petitioner's last pay certificate, service book, attendance certificates etc. for the period from August 10, 2004 have already WP.20354/07 2 been forwarded to Anadi L.P. School, Vaikom as reported by the Assistant Educational Officer, Thurvaoor. In view of the above developments, learned counsel submits that petitioner will be satisfied if an appropriate direction is issued to additional respondent No.5 to disburse the salary to the petitioner without any further delay. In the above facts and circumstances the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to additional respondent No.5 to pay salary and other allowances to the petitioner for the period starting from August 2004 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If any more documents are to be produced by the petitioner, an appropriate direction shall be issued to her in this regard. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
