All these petitions are being heard and disposed off by this common order as there is common question involved. 2. The limited relief which the petitioners have sought for in these -8- petitions is for a direction to the respondents authorities for ensuring that the salary for the period between April, 2017 to March 2019 is released at the earliest without any further delay. 3. Counsel for the petitioners make a submission that all the petitioners in these writ petitions have in fact worked for the entire period between April 2017 to March, 2019. 4. According to the petitioners though they have discharged their duties, they were not permitted to mark attendance in the attendance register as was being done in the previous years. 5. Given the aforesaid contention of the petitioners, this Court is of the opinion that no fruitful purpose would be served to keeping these petitions pending rather ends of justice would meet if these petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondents authorities to verify as to whether the petitioners in fact have physically discharged their duties during the said period i.e. April 2018 to March 2019. 6. Subject to verification of the aforesaid facts if it is found that the petitioners have in fact discharged their duties. The respondents authorities are directed to ensure that the salary of the petitioners for the said period is released without any further delay. The respondents authorities while verification shall also call upon, the petitioners to prove as to how have they discharged their duties during the said period. 7. The respondents are further directed to ensure that even if the petitioners have discharged their duties under the placement agency then the respondents authorities should ensure that the 9 concerned placement agency releases the salary of the petitioners. It is expected that the respondents authorities would conclude the aforesaid verification and take final decision so far as the salary of the petitioners is concerned within an outer limit of three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 8. With the aforesaid observation(s)/direction(s), these petitions are disposed of. Sd/- (Rakesh Mohan Pandey) Judge Rekha
