Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the honorarium has been paid upto October, 2008 thereafter, no honorarium has been paid to the petitioners without assigning any reason as evident from Annexure-2. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that if a direction be issued to the respondents more particularly respondent no.3 to make payment of the admissible honorarium for the period the petitioners have discharged their duties then the grievances of the petitioners shall be redressed. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents-State has raised no serious objection to that course of action. 4.
