DILIP MOHAN FOR R1 & R2 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 19372 OF 2010 -------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is presently working as Principal of Shree Vidyadhiraja Homoeopathic Medical College, Iranimuttom in Thiruvananthapuram district. This writ petition is filed mainly with the following prayer: (1) To issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, direction or order directing the respondents to forthwith disburse the salary due to the petitioner for the period of 27 months after adjusting the amount of Rs.76,270/- that is directed to be refunded. 2. Indisputably, amounts more than the amount covered as per Exts.P4 and P5 are due to the petitioner. In such circumstances, I am of the view that the first respondent is bound to consider the prayer made by the petitioner. According to the petitioner, an amount of Rs. 3,75,000/- is due to him towards salary for the period of 27 months. The further contention of the petitioner is that the amount covered as per Exts.P4 and P5 is only to the tune of Rs.76,270/-. Going by prayer No.1, the petitioner seeks only for disbursement of the balance amount after adjusting the aforesaid amount. WPC No.19372/2010 2 3. The learned Government Pleader submits that the said request will be considered if the third respondent prepares a bill in tune with prayer No.1 and forward it to the first respondent through the second respondent. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the third respondent to draw a salary bill in tune with prayer No.1, which is extracted above, and to forward it to the first respondent through the second respondent within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case of receipt of such a bill drawn by the third respondent, the issue shall be settled by respondents 1 and 2 within a period of two months.
