That this is an application for issuance of a writ in the nature of a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction to the Respondent Authorities to pay the amount of differences of salary during the period 1.1.71 to 31.3.73 to the petitioner with interest up to the date of payment or any other relief/s may be granted for which the petitioner is entitled in the facts and circumstances of the case.” this Court would direct the Director, Primary Education to look into this aspect, inasmuch as, an affidavit had been filed by the Director, Primary Education that all the District Superintendent of Education, 2 pursuant to the direction of this Court have made payment of difference of salary for the period 1.1.1971 to 31.3.1973 to each and every teacher, who was entitled for the same. That being so, the Director, Primary Education must look into such grievance of the petitioner and pass an order and in case he would find that despite the aforesaid undertaking before this Court for payment of amount, in question, was not made, he would take immediate action not only for ensuring payment of such amount to the petitioner but also initiating a departmental proceeding against the erring District Superintendent of Education. Such an exercise must be completed within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
