JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Mukesh Kumar Sinha, Advocate For the Respondents : Mr. Mukesh Kr. Mehta, AC to GP-VI ---------- 06/ 01.07.2025 Instant application has been preferred by the petitioner praying for direction upon the respondent-authorities to forthwith release the fund for payment of arrears of salary/ wages of the petitioner which has not been paid w.e.f. November, 2021 due to want of allotment of funds. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the grievance of the petitioner is for admitted dues/ salary/ wages but inspite of the fact that the petitioner is entitled for the same, the respondents have not paid any amount to the petitioner. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that petitioner has also filed another writ application numbered as W.P.(S). No. 5034 of 2023, wherein the petitioner has challenged the rejection order of regularization. As a matter of fact, the impugned order which is challenged in the referred case is basically the rejection order of regularization and as such, if W.P.(S). 2025:JHHC:17307 2 No. 5034 of 2023 will be allowed in favour of the petitioner then certainly he will get the benefit of salary because non-payment of salary/ wages is not due to paucity of funds; rather, it is only due to the fact that service of the petitioner has not been regularized by the impugned order annexed in W.P.(S). No. 5034 of 2023, which is before the roster of another Bench. 4. Accordingly, instant writ application is hereby disposed of by observing that the prayer made in this writ application shall be subject to final outcome of W.P.(S). No. 5034 of 2023 and if the said case would be decided in favour of this petitioner, the respondent-authorities shall take a decision after verification of record with regard to payment of salary which is the prayer made in this writ application and shall pay the same. 5. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the writ application stands disposed of. (Deepak Roshan, J.) kunal/-
