In W.P.M.P.Nos.14034 of 2004 and 7665 of 2006, by order dated 18.4.2006, this Court passed the following order:- "It is reported that though the petitioner joined in the office of the Chimpalthradi Panchayat, as a clerk on 1.4.1999, and discharged his duties, he was not paid the salary of Rs.830/- for the past 17 months i.e., from 1.11.2002 totalling to Rs.14,110/- and also without initiating any impugned disciplinary proceedings was not allowed to attend the duties. Therefore, the petitioner has filed the writ petition. 2. Though the writ petition was admitted and pending consideration from 29.4.2004, no counter has been filed by the respondents, which shows that what are all the averments and allegations made in the affidavit are proved and admitted by the respondents. Under these circumstances, pending final order in the writ petition, the respondents are directed to pay salary at the rate of Rs.830/- p.m. for the period of 17 months totalling to Rs.14,110/- and the respondents are also directed to permit the petitioner to attend the work and pay salary regularly on par with the similarly placed workers." 3. Today when the matter is taken up for final hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. Insofar as the respondents is concerned, no counter has been filed inspite of lapse of more than 3 years from the date of the earlier order dated 18.4.2006. Obviously the respondents are not inclined to file any counter. 4. This court by its earlier order as above has granted certain relief with regard to the payment of salary and also directed the respondents to permit the petitioner to attend work and pay salary in par with the similarly placed workers. The main prayer in the writ petition is for the very same relief. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 5.
