3. The grievance of the petitioners is that, though pension arrears has been paid to the petitioners, subsequently, the salary arrears have not been paid, as per G.O.Ms.No.207, School Education (G-2) Department, dated 30.09.2008. Despite the fact that the petitioners have made a representation, dated 23.02.2015, no orders have been passed by the respondents. Hence, the petitioners have come forward to file this writ petition.
