It is stated that the appointment of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was approved by the District Educational Officer for the period<\/p>\n<p>from 8.7.2005 to 10.10.2008 or till the vacancy exists which ever is earlier.<\/p>\n<p>It is further stated that the petitioner joined the School on 8.7.2005. She<\/p>\n<p>received salary from 8.7.2005 to March, 2006.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        2. It would appear that there was a dispute regarding management<\/p>\n<p>between two persons. Ext.P2 memo dated 30.5.2006 was issued by the<\/p>\n<p>District Educational Officer, Thiruvananthapuram to the Headmaster<\/p>\n<p>stating that the High Court had directed to maintain status quo as on<\/p>\n<p>6.3.2006 in view of the dispute regarding managership. Therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>Headmaster was directed to withhold the payment of salary in respect of<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner until further orders. It is stated that now the management<\/p>\n<p>dispute is over as per the orders passed by the Educational Authorities as<\/p>\n<p>directed in Ext.P4 judgment.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        3. The petitioner is not paid salary from March, 2006. She is<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C) NO.36285 OF 2007<\/p>\n<p>                                         :: 2 ::\n<\/p>\n<p>entitled to get salary for the period she was worked. No counter affidavit<\/p>\n<p>is filed in the case. Entitlement of the petitioner to get salary is not<\/p>\n<p>disputed. There is no order prohibiting payment of salary to the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p>       4. The prayer in the Writ Petition is for the issue of a writ of<\/p>\n<p>mandamus directing the respondents to pay the salary to the petitioner for<\/p>\n<p>the period she worked in the third respondent School. I am of the view<\/p>\n<p>that the petitioner is entitled to get the relief prayed for in the Writ Petition.<\/p>\n<p>       Accordingly, the Writ Petition is allowed. The Headmaster shall<\/p>\n<p>prepare the salary bill for the salary due to the petitioner and submit<\/p>\n<p>before the District Educational Officer, the second respondent, within a<\/p>\n<p>period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.<\/p>\n<p>The District Educational Officer shall counter-sign the bill promptly for the<\/p>\n<p>immediate disbursement of the salary to the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p>                                                              (K.T.SANKARAN)<br \/>\n                                                                    Judge<\/p>\n<p>ahz\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Chethana C.V. vs State Of Kerala on 16 June, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 36285 of 2007(T) 1.
