Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:122871 Court No. - 52 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 10364 of 2025 Petitioner :- Shaheen Ara Siddiqui And 27 Others Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Kamal Kumar Kesherwani Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Kushmondeya Shahi Hon'ble Mrs. Manju Rani Chauhan,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Standing Counsel for the State and Sri K. Shahi, learned counsel for respondent nos. 2 to 4 and perused the record. The petitioner has preferred instant writ petition for a direction upon respondent authorities to pay the salary to the petitioners for the post of Headmaster/ Headmistress and pay arrears since they are working as Incharge Headmaster/ Headmistress within some stipulated period.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that for ventilation of their grievances, the petitioners have approached the authority concerned by moving representations. However, despite several representations moved by the petitioners, no heed has yet been paid.
Learned counsel for respondent nos. 2 to 4 submits that the controversy regarding payment of the aforesaid has been settled by the Division Bench of this Court in Special Appeal No.652 of 2024 (Secretary, U.P. Basic Education Board and 2 Others vs. Tripurari Dubey and 3 Others) decided on 30.04.2025. However, he submits that in case a fresh representation is given by the petitioners individually before the respondent no.3, the same may be decided in accordance with law.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case but without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case set up on behalf of the petitioners, the present writ petition is disposed of by providing that the petitioners may make fresh application/representation, separately, ventilating all their grievances, supported by such documents, as may be advised, before the respondent no.3 - District Basic Education Officer, Prayagraj, within two weeks from today along with a certified copy of this order. On such representation being made, respondent no.3 shall make all endeavours to consider and decide the same, strictly in accordance with law, by means of a reasoned and speaking order, after giving proper opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of production of certified copy of this order, if there is no legal impediment.
