EDU, SC, FINANCE BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MICHAEL ZOTHANKHUMA ORDER 17.03.2025 Heard Mr. F.Z. Mazmder, learned counsel for the petitioners, who submits that the petitioners had earlier filed WP(C) No.4014/2024, praying for payment of arrear salary w.e.f. 01.11.2020 up to February, 2023. This Court vide order dated 12.08.2024 disposed of WP(C) No.4014/2024, by directing the petitioners to file separate representations before the Director of Elementary Education, within a period of 1 week w.e.f. 12.08.2024. Though the petitioners had submitted their representations to the Director of Elementary Education on 03.12.2024, no decision has been taken by the respondent authorities till date. 2. The petitioners’ counsel submits that he has not filed a contempt petition against the non-compliance of the order dated 12.08.2024 passed in WP(C) No.4014/2024, in view of the fact that the petitioners had not submitted their representations within 1 week, as had been directed in the order dated 12.08.2024 passed in WP(C) No.4014/2024. As such, a defence could lie with the respondent authorities that the petitioners not having submitted their representations on time, no limitation could be imposed on the decision to be Page No.# 12/12 made by the Director of Elementary Education. 3. On considering all the above facts, this Court is of the view that the entire issue can be settled, if the Director of Elementary Education Department is directed to dispose of the petitioners’ representations, which are at Annexure-D (Page 43 to 112), within a specified time period. Accordingly, the Director of Elementary Education is directed to dispose of the petitioners’ representations mentioned above, within a period of 2(two) months, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order along with a copy of the writ petition. 4. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
