State of Maharashtra and others) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. 26TH SEPTEMBER, 2008 Heard Shri A.A. Naik, the learned Counsel for the petitioner, Shri N.W. Sambre, the learned GP for the respondent No.1 and Smt. U.A. Patil, the learned Counsel for the respondent Nos.3 and 4. The learned Counsel for the petitioner states that the limited grievance which is canvassed by the petitioner is in respect of non payment of arrears of salary by the respondent Nos.3 and 4 for the period during which the petitioner has factually discharged his duties as Junior Research Assistant and, therefore, a direction be given to the respondents to make the payment of arrears of salary which is due and payable to the petitioner. The learned Counsel for the respondent Nos.3 and 4 states that the petitioner was given appointment from the reserved category subject to submission of the validity certificate and since the petitioner failed to 2 submit validity certificate, the salary for some period has not been paid. We want to make it clear that it is the primary responsibility of the management to pay the salary for the period for which the employee has factually discharged his duties. In the instant case, it is not in dispute that for the period from 01.05.2006 ending with 15.05.2008, the petitioner has factually discharged his duties as Junior Research Assistant. In that view of the matter, we dispose of the petition with a direction to the respondent Nos.3 and 4 to pay the arrears of salary for the above referred period which is due and payable to the petitioner within a period of eight weeks from the date of communication of this order.
