THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION, HAJIPUR, VAISHALI. …………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2 03.11.2011 This application is for restoration of the writ application which stood dismissed for default on account of non-appearance of learned counsel for the petitioners on two dates. The dismissal of a writ application in default does not operate as res judicata. Hence, petitioners are at liberty to file a fresh writ application. The grievance of the petitioners is only for payment of their salary. Hence, if they file a representation before the 2 District Education Officer for the same, the District Education Officer shall be obliged to consider it and pass appropriate orders for payment of admitted salary of the petitioners as quickly as possible. The MJC application is disposed of. Arvind/ ( J.N. Singh, J.)
