Representation submitted by petitioner before the Competent Authority was ultimately rejected and thereafter petitioner had joined at the transferred place. Petitioner submitted representation before respondent No.2 for release of salary for the period of four months i.e. from 28.8.2019 to 6.12.2019.

The Deputy Director, Higher Education vide letter dated 17.12.2019 directed respondent No.3 to forward detailed information along with documents so that steps regarding payment of salary of petitioner can be taken. However, when the petitioner has not been paid salary for the aforementioned period, he submitted an application/representation before respondent No.1 on 23.7.2024, which too is pending consideration, therefore, a direction may be issued to respondent No.1 to take decision on representation of petitioner at the earliest within specific time period. 3 3.
