3. The management, being aggrieved by the common order, has preferred W.A.Nos.943 and 968 of 2026. Pending the appeals, the employer and the employee i.e., the management and the teacher entered into a compromise on 24.09.2026 on the following terms:- “The appellants in W.A.Nos.943 & 968 of 2026 have filed W.A.No.943 of 2026 challenging the order dated 11.12.2025 passed in W.P.No.7784 of 2017 and

W.A.No.968 of 2026 challenging the order dated 11.12.2025 passed in W.P.No.12966 of 2016. The appellants and the contesting first respondent are same in W.A.No.943 of 2026 and 968 of 2026.

2. The first respondent C.Jane Margret in W.A.Nos.943/2026 and 968/2026 has agreed to forgo the subsistence allowance and all other benefits to be paid by the appellants herein to the first respondent, that had accrued consequent to the common order dated 11.12.2025 passed in W.P.Nos.7784 of 2017 and 12996 of 2016. Simultaneously, the appellants have agreed to expedite and submit necessary pension papers to the Education Department of Government of Tamil Nadu, for sanction and disbursement of pension and other attendant benefits with arrears to the respondent Mrs.Jane Margret.”

4. Before this Court, a copy of the memorandum of compromise was served to the learned Special Government Pleader and his opinion was sought since the Government is a party to the proceedings.

5. The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 2 and 3 submitted that pursuant to the order passed by the learned Single Judge, four months’ salary has already been disbursed to the writ petitioner, Mrs.Jane Margret. He further submitted that since the responsibility now on the management and employee as per the terms of the compromise, the Government has no objection.

6. Recording the said submissions, we dispose of both the Writ Appeals in terms of the memorandum of compromise extracted above. Consequently, the connected Civil Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
