HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18438 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner is working as a Teacher in an aided private educational institution, 4th respondent herein. His services were absorbed against an aided vacancy with effect from 24-01-1987. The actual absorption, however, took place on 26-09-1989. He has been pursing the claim for payment of salary for the period from 24-01-1987 to 26-09-1989. This Writ Petition is filed with a prayer to declare the action of the respondents in not paying the salary with interest for that period, as illegal. Reference is also made to an order dated 25-03- 1998 in W.P. No.16442 of 1997. 2. Respondents 1 to 3 filed counter affidavit stating that the delay in payment of the salary was on account of the failure of the Management of the School to submit the claim. A copy of the proceedings dated 08-10-2010, through which a sum of Rs.49,244/- is sanctioned to the petitioner, is also filed. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Education. 4. In case there was any direction issued by this Court on 25-03-1998 in W.P.No.16442 of 1997, petitioner ought to have taken steps for enforcement thereof. He approached this Court at a belated stage. All the same, 3rd respondent issued proceedings dated 08-10- 2010 sanctioning a sum of Rs.49,244/- as arrears of salary to the petitioner for the period referred to above. Proceedings are submitted for approval to the 2nd respondent. The grievance of the petitioner virtually stands redressed. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, taking on record, the proceedings dated 08-10-2010 issued by the 3rd respondent. The 2nd respondent shall accord approval for the same, within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.
