Sdk+ ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.34994 of 2007 ================== Dated this the 3rd day of April, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is retired a headmistress of a Government school. Her complaint is that she is unable to receive her DCRG because of non-issuance of NLC/LC by the 2nd respondent. The 2nd respondent has filed a counter affidavit stating that the 2nd respondent has completed the audit in respect of two schools and a liability certificate has been issued fixing the liability as Rs.1000/-. However, for the period during which the petitioner was working under the 3rd respondent, the liability certificate has to be issued by the 3rd respondent. The learned Government Pleader submits that the entire matter would be finalised and DCRG due to the petitioner after deducting the liability fixed would be paid within two months. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed. The petitioner's claim for interest is left open to be agitated by the petitioner in appropriate proceedings. It is also made clear that this is without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge the liability fixed, if she so chooses. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
