WP(C) 2277/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE P.K.. MUSAHARY Heard Mr. H.K. Das, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners . Also heard M r. B. Choudhury, learned Standing Counsel, Education Department and Mr. S. Bhuya n, learned counsel appearing for respondent No. 3. The present petitioner who was serving as Assistant teacher (Sanskrit) at Arjun dev High School, Balikuchi was transferred to P.B. Balisatra High School vide or der dated 22.12.2010 issued by the respondent Director of Secondary Education, A ssam. In compliance with the aforesaid transfer order the petitioner joined at P .B Balisatra High School on 29.12.2010 and since then he has been serving there at regularly. His grievance is that although he joined at P.B. Balisatra High Sc hool, his salary has not been released reportedly on the ground that there is no release order issued by the Headmaster of the Arjundev High School. It is unthi nkable that when a teacher without any objection to the transfer order, joined a t the new place of posting in compliance to the transfer order issued by the com petent authority, he has been denied salary on such un-tenable ground. Release i s automatic when the government servant accepts the transfer and joins at the a bove place of posting on transfer. Although notice was issued by this Court as far back as on 4.5.2011, the respond ent education department and its authorities have not bothered to file counter a ffidavit and made the petitioner suffer unnecessarily due to non payment of sala ries due to him. I find no reason to refuse the relief sought for by the petitio ner. Accordingly the respondent authorities, particularly the Director of Secondary E ducation , respondent No. 2 is directed to take immediate steps for release of t he arrear salary as well as the current salary to the petitioner as per his enti tlement within a period of 30 days from today. The petition stands allowed. A copy of this order be furnished to Mr. Choudhury, learned S.C. for onward transmission to the respondent concerned. The writ petition stands disposed of.
