THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10319 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not paying him salary for the services rendered by him from 23.10.2009 to 28.02.2010 as illegal and arbitrary. In view of the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel for the University of Hyderabad, there is no need to detail the facts. It is suffice to say that the University has appointed the petitioner as a Consultant and extended the tenure up to 22.10.2009. It is the case of the petitioner that though there is no formal extension order to continue him as Consultant, he worked for the University up to 28.02.2010. When the matter came up for hearing on 31.05.2010, it was adjourned to enable the learned Standing Counsel for the University to get instructions. When the matter is taken up today, it is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel for the University that the respondents have decided to pay salary to the petitioner for the period from 23.10.2009 to 26.02.2010. In that view of the matter, as the very claim of the petitioner is being accepted by the respondents, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to pay the amounts, which are payable to the petitioner in terms of appointment, for the period from 23.10.2009 to 26.02.2010, within a period of one week from today. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 7th JUNE, 2010. kvni
