CWP(T) No. 10536/2008 25.05.2010 Present: Mr. S. D. Gill, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R. K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Ram Murti Bisht, Dy. A.G. and Mr. P.M. Negi, Dy. A.G. for the respondents. Petitioner who was working as Trained Graduate Teacher (Arts) was transferred from Govt. High School, Upper Hareta to Govt. Sr. Secondary School, Galore vide order dated 27.12.2002. His joining was not accepted by the Principal of the Sr. Secondary School, Galore for the reason that the incumbent posted in the said school had not been released. Further in terms of order dated 10.1.2003 passed by the Deputy Director of Education, Hamirpur, petitioner was directed to be adjusted somewhere else as he was rendered surplus. Petitioner was subsequently adjusted at Govt. High School, Rangar, Distt. Hamirpur. It is the petitioner’s grievance that he has not received the salary for the period 1.1.2003 upto 31.3.2003, when he was under transfer. 2. In terms of letter dated 1.4.2004 (Annexure A-6), petitioner was asked to apply for the leave of kind due so that his salary for the said period could be released to him. Petitioner agreed for the same which is evident from letter dated 1.4.2004 (Annexure A-6), but still no payment towards the salary for the said period was released to him. Now there is no fault on the part of the petitioner. He must get his salary. The mistake is that of the officer issuing his transfer order. 3. Petitioner is directed to apply for the kind of leave due and the respondents are directed to release the salary for the period in question within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order. 4. With these observations, the petition stands disposed of. ( Sanjay Karol ), Judge. May 25, 2010 (rana)
