We note that the Divisional Deputy Commissioner has sought an approval from the State Government as regards the payment of Rs. 34,95,788/- to the Petitioner towards arrears of salary. We note that the proposal is submitted in March 2024. 5.

Stand over to 10 July 2024. If no response is received from the State Government to the proposal of the Divisional Deputy Commissioner regarding the payment of amount of Rs. 34,95,788/-, the Court may direct the Respondent - State to deposit the said amount in the Registry of this Court subject to further orders."
