Ms.Bhende, the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for the Scrutiny Committee states that the caste claim of the petitioner is pending before the Scrutiny Committee and the same would be decided within a period of six weeks.

¶17

By accepting the statement made on behalf of the respondent Scrutiny Committee, we dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the Scrutiny Committee to positively decide the caste claim of the petitioner within a period of six weeks. Since the petitioner has filed the writ petition on 15^th September, 2014, the petitioner would be entitled to the arrears of salary for a period of three years preceding the date of filing of the writ petition. We, therefore, direct the management to send the salary bills of the petitioner for the period from October, 2011 till date to the respondent No.5 Education Officer so that the arrears of salary of the petitioner for the period from October, 2011 till date could be released. We direct the respondents to pay the regular salary to the petitioner till her caste claim is decided. The arrears of salary may be paid to the petitioner within a period of four weeks. The respondent management should submit the salary bills of the petitioner within a period of 10 days and the respondent No.5 should pay the salary within a period of three weeks therefrom. Order accordingly. No costs.
