While working there, he availed leave without allowance for five years from 25.10.2007 to take up employment abroad. On 4.9.2010, the petitioner rejoined duty at Government Basic L.P. School, Heroor, discontinuing the leave without allowance. The grievance of the petitioner is that the third respondent, the Headmaster of G.H.S.S., Madikai, did not forward the service book of the petitioner to the Headmaster, Government Basic L.P. School, Heroor. 2. The relief prayed for in the Writ Petition is to issue a writ of mandamus directing the third respondent to forward the service book of the petitioner and all necessary records to Government Basic L.P. School, Heroor. 3. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, WPC No.32745/2010 2 submitted that on 1.11.2010, the third respondent had forwarded the service book of the petitioner to Government Basic L.P. School, Heroor. It is also submitted that the salary of the petitioner was not paid because of want of service book. When the service book reaches the Government Basic L.P. School, Heroor, there would be no difficulty for payment of salary. These submissions are recorded. In view of the submission made by the learned Government Pleader, no directions are necessary in this Writ Petition. 4. If it is found that the service book has not reached the destination, the petitioner would be entitled to file a memo in this Writ Petition in which case the Writ Petition will revive. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. K.T.SANKARAN JUDGE csl
