arrears of salary, payment of salary for the period of maternity leave, and refund of school fees paid by her for education of her son. 6.

The contention of the School is that the benefits in terms of the 6th and 7th Pay Commission have already been paid to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, disputes the computation. 7.

Having regard to the nature of the controversy, learned counsel for the parties suggest that the matter be referred to the DoE, which may hear both parties and dispose of the grievances in accordance with law. Learned counsel for DoE has no objection to this suggestion. 8.

In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of, with the direction that the writ petition will be placed before the DoE, as it contains a detailed computation of the claimed dues. If the petitioner wishes to file any additional document before the DoE, she may do so within one week from today. The respondent shall file its computation of dues/submissions with regard to the petitioner's claims within two weeks thereafter. The DoE is directed to hear the parties, and decide the petitioner's entitlements, within a period of six weeks thereafter. 9.

The rights and contentions of the parties are reserved.
