They were appointed during the years 1999-2000 and 2000-01. Their appointments were as per Ext.P3 series of orders. They are aggrieved by Ext.P4 order issued by the District Educational Officer to the Principal objecting to the bills produced in regard to the payment of salary. 2. It is now submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that later the Government by G.O.(MS). No.60/2007/G.Edn., dated 12/03/2007 has issued orders granting sanction for payment of arrears of salary to the Aided Higher Secondary School Teachers. Paragraph (5) of the said Government Order reads as follows:- “5. Government have examined the matter in detail and they are pleased to accord sanction for payment of arrear salary to those Aided Higher Secondary School Teachers who were paid salary at the rate of Guest teachers till 30/11/2001 in the scale of pay admissible to Higher Secondary School Teachers. The arrear salary consequent to W.P.(C). No.9143/2005 -:2:- this up to 31/12/2006 will be merged to their P.F account and the same will be allowed to be withdrawn only after 31/12/2011.” 3. In the light of the above, as the grievance of the petitioners stands redressed no further orders are called for in the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
