KAMESHWAR NAGAR, DARBHANGA ----------- 8 02.02.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the opposite party-University. A show cause has been filed on behalf of the opposite party-University wherein it has been stated to the effect that the order has been complied with by making the admissible payments with regard to arrears of salary to the tune of Rs. 5,49,420/- which was communicated to the petitioner as per the letter dated 11.05.2009 as contained in Annexure-B to the show cause. According to the stand of the University the total pre-retiral dues of the petitioner has been paid, and as such, this application need not proceed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the entire amount of salary has not been paid and the petitioner is required to be paid further amount of 2 arrears of salary since 1981. Be that as it may, since the order of the Court has been complied with, this contempt application need not proceed further. However, it will be open for the petitioner to put his claim with regard to arrears of salary which according to him has still remained to be paid by the University before the appropriate authority. Accordingly, this contempt application stands disposed of with the above observations. Manish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
