2.

If this is so, respondents shall pay arrears of salary of petitioners for the period from April 2018 to April 2025, by ascertaining their eligibility within a period of six (6) weeks from today. 3.

Learned AGP to instruct State Government, Education Department, to verify the eligibility of the petitioners and if found eligible to disburse their arrears of salary within twelve (12) weeks from today.

4.

With these directions, Writ Petitions are disposed of. 5.
