Respondents ----------- 3. 20/09/2010 Petitioners have filed this writ application for payment of remaining arrears of salary of the period September, 1980 to May, 2002, during which period, salary was paid to them only in part. They have also prayed that necessary grant may be released to the College in question so that remaining salary may be paid to the petitioners. This writ application was filed on 23.4.2008. However, till today, no counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents. In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with the following directions:- 1. Petitioners must file fresh representations individually before the concerned respondent within one month from today along with a copy of this order. The representations must contain all the claims of the petitioners distinctly and in separate paragraphs and must accompany documents connected with their service history and 3 other documents/circulars/orders etc. on the basis of which petitioners assert their right to get the claims. 2. The concerned respondent, upon receipt of the representations, with a copy of this order, shall immediately take it into consideration, and, if necessary, after hearing the petitioners in person or through representative, as he may feel proper, shall pass final orders within three months of the receipt of the same. In case the concerned respondent is not the competent authority to pass final orders in the matter, he shall refer the matter within two months with his detailed consideration and definite opinion in respect of each claim to the competent authority for passing final orders in the matter, who, after hearing anyone and after examining any records as he may deem necessary, shall pass final orders in the matter within one month from the date of receipt of reference from the concerned respondent. 3. The final order of the concerned respondent or of competent authority or the reference order of the concerned respondent 4 sent to the competent authority must show that (i) each and every claim of the petitioners has been noticed; (ii) each and every claim has been separately considered and a definite finding/opinion has been arrived at in respect of each and every claim with regard to its admissibility or inadmissibility and (iii) all the relevant laws/circulars/orders etc. in respect of each and every claim have been taken into consideration for its acceptance or rejection by the said final order. 4. All consequential orders, in respect of the admitted claims, must also be issued along with the passing of the final order, and payments of any consequential monetary benefits must be ensured within one month of the passing of the said final order and issue of the said consequential orders. 5. The said final order must be served upon/communicated to the petitioners within the said three months and it must clearly mention the grounds and findings for rejecting any claim with reference to specific law/circular/order for coming to that finding. 5 It goes without saying that this Court has not gone into the claims of the petitioners on merits which shall be considered and decided by the respondents within the time fixed as above and strictly in accordance with law.
