Respondents ---------------------------------- 2. 23/08/2011 Now the petitioner has superannuated. Hence, substantial part of her prayer has become infructuous. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner’s grievance of non-payment of her arrears of salary still subsists. He draws the attention of this Court to a letter of the District Superintendent of Education, Begusarai dated 4.6.2010 addressed to the Drawing and Disbursing Officer, Sahebpur Kamal Block, Begusarai, annexed as Annexure- 12 with the supplementary affidavit to show that inspite of repeated reminders and 2 warnings the Drawing and Disbursing Officer is not releasing salary of the petitioner. The said letter dated 4.6.2010 is of the District Superintendent of Education. Hence if the Drawing and Disbursing Officer has not complied with the same, the District Superintendent of Education ought to have initiated disciplinary proceeding against him, as indicated in the said letter itself. In any case, it is the District Superintendent of Education, who has to see that all arrears of salary of the petitioner are paid to her at an early date. This Court directs him to do it positively within three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
