In the considered opinion of this Court there can be now no question of going who quantum of such amount which has not been raised in this writ application. Petitioner may however raise his such grievance before the competent authority of the University and if for this purpose the petitioner would file any representation confined only to his grievance regarding lesser payment of the amount of arrears of salary under U.G.C. pay scale for the period 1.1.1996 to 31.1.1998, the Registrar of the University would it get examined and communicate the decision of the University after obtaining the order of the Vice chancellor. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
