Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. J.K. Verma, DAG, for respondents No.1 to 3 and 5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The writ petition is filed with the following prayers: “A. That the respondents (Respondent No. 3 & 5) may be directed to forward the case of the petitioner for the release of the grant in aid and respondent No.2 may be directed to release the same immediately on receipt of the requisition. B. That the writ in the nature of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ or direction may kindly be issued directing the respondents to release the grants- in-aid from the date of his appointment till date along with interest @ 9%.” 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that he is not disbursed the grant-in-aid. It is the stand of the respondents that the appointment of the petitioner is not in accordance with the grant-in-aid policy. It is strongly refuted by the petitioner. Be that as it may. Since it is a matter for the Government ultimately to consider, we are of 2 the view that it is in the interest of the petitioner if he is relegated to pursue his grievances before the Government, where the petitioner can take all available contentions. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of as follows: 3. In the event of the petitioner filing a comprehensive representation before the Principal Secretary (Education) within a period of six weeks from today, the matter will be duly considered by the said Authority with reference to all the relevant factors. In case the petitioner requests for an opportunity of personal hearing, the same shall also be granted. In any case, the matter shall be disposed of within another period of four months. In case the petitioner is entitled to any benefit in the process, the same shall be disbursed to him within another two months. 4. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 28th February, 2011. (Justice Sanjay Karol), (K/tr) Judge. 3
