¶76

the grievance of the petitioners that though they have been paid their salaries for 16 months but they have not been paid their salaries for the period of 44 months, which they have served.

¶77

In view of above, this Court is of the opinion that since the petitioners are holding remunerative posts, the authorities have to release their salaries for the service rendered by them for which the authorities will do the needful by making necessary verification of their entitlements. The petitioners will submit detail applications before the authorities to clarify their period of service rendered and the authorities after examining their arrears of salary, shall pass the appropriate order to release of the same. This exercise shall be done within a period of 3 (three) months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order.

The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly.
