Now he is on deputation in the District Water Management Agency at Karim Nagar. The petitioner submits that the 3rd respondent through his proceedings issued in May 2002 mentioned that the petitioner was not paid the salary from March 2000 to November 2000 and from December 2001 to 16-5-2002 due to lack of funds and further mentioned that the same will be paid in due course. The petitioner contends that the other staff members were paid the salaries. But he was not paid the same on the ground that he was on deputation. The petitioner contends that he made a representation to the 1st respondent on 17-8-2004 for payment of salaries due to him for the period from March 2000 to November 2000 and from December 2001 to 16-5-2002. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 1st respondent so far did not pass any order on his representation and therefore he approached this Court seeking a direction to the 1st respondent to pass appropriate orders on his representation dated 17-8-2004. In the light of the circumstances explained by the petitioner, the 1st respondent is directed to examine the case of the petitioner regarding the salary payable to him and consider his representation and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. __________ 8-10-2004 rkk NOTE: Issue CC by three days (B/o) Rkk To 1 The Managing Director, A.P.
