pass a reasoned order. Pursuant to that, the petitioner approached the concerned department and accordingly, the impugned order dated 17.8.2012 has been passed whereby the claim of the petitioner has been negated on the ground that school in question was not granted minority status. Mr. Rajiv Nandan Prasad, while referring the Annexure-B to the counter affidavit, submits that in view of the annexure-B it was decided that the schools, who were not granted minority status as yet, salary for the teachers and other staffs can be paid by the department. He further took this court to the annexure-3 which is a circular of the State Government wherein it was again reiterated that the schools, who are not granted minority status, the salary for the teachers and other staffs can be released by the State Government. He further submits that a Coordinate Bench of this Court in W.P(S) No. 2514 of 2013, which was disposed of on 19.7.2016 on similar facts and circumstances, directed the respondent no. 3 to take a decision in respect of payment of salary and other benefits which accrued to the husband of the petitioner taking into consideration the observation made in the said writ petition within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. He further submits that in view of the order passed in W.P(S) No.2514 of 2013, annexure-11 has been issued by the concerned authority wherein it has been directed that salary in respect of the petitioner of that case and other benefits can be released. On strength of these documents and the facts he argues that once the State Government has taken decision in respect of the petitioner of W.P(S) No. 2514 of 2013 and positive order has been passed and the State Government cannot be allowed to discriminate the petitioner. He further submits that the order passed of W.P(S) No. 2514 of 2013, has not been challenged in any higher court.
