ORDER Date : 08.11.2024

¶2The petitioners were appointed as Tutors by different orders, all dated

23.09.2022, issued by the Director of Elementary Education, Assam. The Order dated 23.09.2022 provides that the post, against which the petitioners were accommodated as Tutors, is purely personal in nature and will cease to exist as and when the incumbent retires from service or expires. It is also provided that the accommodation order will take effect from 01.11.2020 only and the petitioner cannot claim any benefit whatsoever in respect of past services rendered by him/her prior to 01.11.2020. The order further states that the appointment is issued with concurrence of the Finance EC(III) Department dated 11.02.2021 and Finance (SIU) Department dated 17.02.2021, which was communicated by the Government Letter dated 01.09.2022. Page No.# 5/5

¶3The grievance of the petitioners before this Court is that despite the stipulations provided in the Order dated 23.09.2022, the petitioners are being paid their current salary from the month of March, 2023, however, their arrear salary w.e.f. 01.11.2020 till 28.02.2023 has not been paid to them.

¶4Considering the short question involved, this writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioners to make their individual representations before the Director of Elementary Education, Assam within a period of 2 (two) weeks from today. The Director of Elementary Education, Assam/respondent No. 3 shall, thereafter, consider the representations made by the petitioners and dispose of the same, after verification of all the required documents, by a speaking order and in accordance with law within a period of 2 (two) months from the date of receipt of the representations to be filed by the petitioners.

¶5With the above observations and directions, this writ petition is disposed of.
