Admittedly, the petitioners worked as Junior Residents. Their salary / stipend was not paid, as there was a dispute about the rate. 5. Ultimately, the Management Committee in its Meeting dated 26.11.2018, had resolved and decided to pay salary / stipend to the Junior Residents as per the State Government Rule. 6. Since the respondent – RINPAS had already taken a decision to pay the salary / stipend as per the State Government’s Rule, I direct the respondents to pay the arrears of salary / stipend amount at the rates and as per the Rule of the State Government. The said payment should be made to each of the individual petitioner within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 7. In view of the aforesaid direction, the instant writ petition stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Prashant.Cp-2
