DATE :

18th DECEMBER, 2025 P.C. :

1.

In identical matters, we have passed orders on 15th October, 2025 and 24th November, 2025.

2.

The learned AGP submits that a verification exercise in all these matters would be undertaken by the Deputy Commissioner, Disabled Welfare, Respondent No. 2, and he will forward the proposals to Mantralaya. This exercise would be completed within two weeks. Respondent No.1 would then deal with the said proposals and pass appropriate orders. This entire exercise would be completed in 60 days from today.

3.

Needless to state, the grievances of the Petitioners as regards stoppage of their unpaid salaries will be dealt with by Respondent No.1, primarily keeping in view that, none of these Petitioners were heard or were granted an opportunity of hearing, when they suffered unilateral cancellation of the NOC. 4.

Since the learned AGP submits that the above exercise of verifications and calculations will be completed within 60 days from today, we record that the arrears of these Petitioners would be paid on or before 27th February, 2026. Their regular payments of salaries shall be

commenced for the month of December, 2025 payable in January, 2026 on the regular pay day.

5.

In view of the above, these Writ Petitions are disposed off. 6.

We are listing these disposed off Petitions for recording compliance, on 13th March, 2026.
