Alagarsamy.a v. The Managing Director
Case brief
What is this about?
Single-judge order (B.Pugalendhi, J.), Madras High Court Madurai Bench, closing a 2023 service/pay-commission writ petition on 04.12.2025. Subject terms: VII Pay Commission; arrears of pay; salary difference January 2016 to March 2018; interest 6%; writ of mandamus; Article 226 Constitution of India; employer entities: Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (Kumbakonam) Ltd. — Managing Director (Kumbakonam) and General Manager, Karaikudi Region (Sivagangai District); petitioner A.Alagarsamy; advocates K.Gokul (petitioner) and K.Ramaiah, Standing Counsel (respondents); resolution route: joint counsel submission that arrears already paid → 'nothing survives' → petition closed, no costs. Useful for locating closure-on-payment disposals rather than adjudicated holdings; contains no statutory rulings and no precedent treatments.
What did the court decide?
No fresh relief ordered by this Court: the prayer of the writ petition (disbursement of VII Pay Commission salary difference for January 2016 to March 2018 with 6% interest) was overtaken because counsel jointly reported the arrears had already been paid; the petition was accordingly closed with 'No' costs.
