Therefore, the case of the petitioners is that they are entitled to arrears of salary from the day the posts were admitted in grant-in-aid. The correspondent of the School sent proposals for giving monetary benefits to the teachers from 1.11.1989 and the District Educational Officer, Mahaboobnagar approved the said proposals by his letter in RC.No.C1/23812/89 dated 5.2.1990 and forwarded the same to the Department of Auditor Officer for further action. The Director of School Education issued proceedings on 14.11.1991 directing the District Educational Officers to instruct the management of the schools to prepare and send the particulars of teacher-wise arrears statement, to be paid from 1.9.1985 to 31.10.1989 and obligation certificate for amounts already released by District Educational Officers. The management of the petitioners’ - school also prepared the bills. Now the grievance of the petitioners is that instead of implementing the G.O.Ms.No.326 dated 17.10.1989, the Government issued G.O.Ms.No.138 dated 25.4.1994 stating that the arrears of grants-in-aid to all the private educational institutions, which were admitted to grant-in-aid with effect from 1.11.1989 in G.O.Ms.No.326 dated 17.10.1989, shall not be paid arrears. Challenging the same, writ petitions in W.P.Nos.1673/93, 5162/94, 28532/96 and 2232/95 were filed and this court directed the Government for payment of arrears of grant-in-aid and the said order was confirmed by the Apex Court by order dated 7.8.2000. Pursuant to the same, the Government issued G.O.Rt.No.144 dated 4.1.2000 and the petitioners in the above said writ petitions, were paid arrears of salary. Now the grievance of the petitioner is that the same benefit is not being extended to them. Hence, the writ petition. 3. The respondents did not file any counter disputing the averments made in the writ affidavit. 4. Having regard to the above facts and circumstances and in the interest of justice, the respondents are directed to consider the case of the petitioners for payment of arrears of grant-in-aid in the light of G.O.Rt.No.144 dated 4.1.2000 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. AVS --------------------------- --- 16—11— 2010
