Their grievance is that since July, 2006 the Mukhiya of the concerned Gram Panchayats is not making payment of their salary. The simple reason for not making the payment of salary is that petitioners failed to produce their certificate of Intermediate - 2 - within 33 months. The reason for non-production of Intermediate certificate within 33 months is the late publication of the result. I do not find that this should be a reason for not making the payment of salary to the petitioners, in case the petitioners are still working and discharging their duties. The publication of result is not within the control of the petitioners. They appeared in the examination within the time, but result was delayed. That cannot be a ground for not making the payment of salary to the petitioners. The respondents Mukhiya of Gram Panchayat Raj, Pirari, Madhuri and Mahuawa are directed to make payment of salary to the petitioners, which have been stopped since July, 2006. The salary must be paid to the petitioners within four weeks from the date of production/communication of the order. The arrears of salary since July, 2006 till date must be paid to the petitioners. The petitioners’ current month to month salary on regular basis, also shall be paid by the respondents. This application is disposed of. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
