SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.21798 OF 2006 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners were appointed as Guest Lecturers as per Ext.P1 and P1(A) appointment orders by the 2nd respondent for the period from 29.2.1996 to 28.2.1997 in temporary vacancies. The petitioners grievance in this writ petition is that their salary for the said period has not been paid yet. Claiming this benefit, the Principal of the College has filed Ext.P1(G) representation before the Joint Secretary of University Grants Commission, Hyderabad. The petitioners seek a direction to the said person to dispose of Ext.P1(G) expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the 3rd respondent to see that Ext.P1(G) is considered and disposed of by the appropriate authority under him as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
