This writ petition has been filed mainly with the prayer to issue a writ of mandamus commanding the first respondent to disburse salary and allowances to the petitioner from 2.6.2008 onwards and for such other consequential reliefs. The contention of the petitioner is that in the light of Ext.P2 there is absolutely no reason for the respondents to decline to disburse the salary. It is the further contention that they are bound to take appropriate action in terms of Ext.P3. Raising such contentions and grievances against the non- disbursement of salary, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P5 before the District Educational Officer, Kanjirappilly. The learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted that the representation submitted by the petitioner on the aforesaid subject has been received by the District Educational Officer, Kanjirappilly on 5.8.2010. In the circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the District Educational Officer, Kanjirappilly to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner to redress her grievances in the matter of non-disbursement of salary which was received by him on 5.8.2010, WP(C).No.21994/2010 2 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the petitioner. Needless to say that while considering the same, the first respondent shall also look into Exts.P2 and P3. In case a decision favourable to the petitioner is taken on the said representation, the consequential reliefs shall be granted to the petitioner within one month thereafter. C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
