The petitioner claims that the arrears of salary to which the petitioner is entitled have not been paid till date. He has made a representation before the competent authority but to no avail. The only prayer made by Shri Arun Kumar Tiwari, learned counsel for the petitioner is that the representation of the petitioner may be decided within a stipulated period of time. Shri Gaurav Pratap Singh, learned counsel holding brief of Shri Jai Krishna Upadhyay, learned counsel for the respondents No.2 to 4 submits that the matter requires determination of facts by the competent authority in light of the applicable provisions of law in the first instance. However, he fairly contends that the claim of the petitioner for payment of arrears of salary is liable to be decided by the competent authority in a reasonable time frame.
