Judgment :- 1. The petitioner was employed as a Junior Engineer in Town Panchayat under the control of first respondent. While so, he was transferred to Attur Municipality during February 2002. He was not paid salary for the service rendered in the Town Panchayat for the period from 01.04.2000 to 12.02.2002. 2. It is now stated that the first respondent sent a proposal to the fifth respondent claiming Rs.2,40,369/- as salary for the period from 01.04.2000 to 12.02.2002. The fifth respondent has to approve the proposal and to disburse the salary to the petitioner. 3. From 29.02.2002 to June 2005, the petitioner served in Attur Municipality on transfer from the Town Panchayat. In Attur Municipality, he was paid only the minimum pay on the ground that the service particulars were not received from the first respondent. 4. It is now stated that after the petitioner was transferred from Attur Municipality to Salem Municipality, the first respondent sent the service particulars vide proceedings dated 09.09.2009 and the same is produced before this Court. 5. From 01.07.2005 to November 2009, the petitioner served in the fourth respondent – Municipality. The second respondent, being the overall head of the Municipal Administration, is responsible for payment of salary to his employees. Since the service particulars are available with the third respondent after 09.09.2009 as stated above, the second respondent should see to it that the service particulars are passed on to the fourth respondent for payment of salary to the petitioner, as it is stated by the learned counsel for the fourth respondent that for want of service particulars, the petitioner was paid the minimum pay to the post which he held. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the following directions are issued: (a) Regarding payment of salary from 01.04.2000 to 12.02.2002 - Since the matter is relating to payment of salary for the period relating to 8 years back, a direction is issued to the fifth respondent to pass appropriate orders, disbursing the salary payable to the petitioner for the period from 01.04.2000 to 12.02.2002, within a period of four weeks from today. (b) Regarding payment of salary from 29.02.2002 to June 2005 - the respondents 2 and 3 are directed to pay salary, which the petitioner is entitled to, after deducting the salary which he had received already, within a period of four weeks from today. (b) Regarding payment of salary from 29.02.2002 to June 2005 - the respondents 2 and 3 are directed to pay salary, which the petitioner is entitled to, after deducting the salary which he had received already, within a period of four weeks from today.
