¶23

respondent to forthwith disburse the remuneration amount of Rs.49,420/- (Rupees forty nine thousand four hundred and twenty only) due to the petitioner for the services rendered under the Naan Mudhalvan Scheme.

¶24

The petitioner would submit that she was appointed as a Trainder under the Naan Mudhalvan Scheme by the 3^rd respondent for the period from 08.07.2024 to 30.09.2024, which was later extended till October 2024. As per the terms of engagement, she worked for about nine weeks and duly discharged all her assigned duties.

¶25

It is the grievance of the petitioner that though she had duly discharged all her assigned duties, the remuneration initially fixed at Rs.45,000/- and later confirmed as Rs.49,420 along with the eligible travel reimbursements, has not been paid till date. Despite repeated

Therefore, without going into the merits of the case of the petitioner, this Court directs the petitioner to submit a fresh representation along with all relevant documents to the 2^nd respondent and upon receipt of the said representation, the 2^nd respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
