No. 7281 of 2006 Learned counsel for the petitioners states, that the solitary issue that survives insofar as the instant writ petition is concerned, is the salary payable to the petitioners for the services rendered by them before executing a fresh contract agreement of employment with the respondents. Additionally, it is submitted that the respondents be directed to verify whether the petitioners had rendered services prior to the execution of the CWP No. 7281 of 2006 2 fresh contract and if it is found, that the petitioners had actually rendered services before the execution of fresh contract of employment, the petitioners be paid wages under the old contract for the duration they had rendered services. We are satisfied that the instant innocuous prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioners deserves to be accepted. In view of the above, the instant writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to verify the services rendered by the petitioners consequent upon the issuance of their contractual appointment dated 22.4.2006, and in case, the petitioners are found to have rendered any service under the said contract, they would be paid for the same in terms of the contract dated 22.04.2006. Learned counsel for the respondents shall communicate the instant order to the relevant quarters for implementation. Disposed of accordingly. A copy of this order be furnished to the learned counsel for the respondents under the signatures of the Court Secretary attached to this Court. ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge January 09, 2007 ( S.D.
