Counsel for the University is present and has informed this Court by filing a counter affidavit that whatever dues is admissible and payable to the petitioner for the period 1982-83 to 2003-04 has already been paid. In this respect paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the counter affidavit are relevant and are quoted hereinbelow: “3. The petitioner Dr. Ameeta Jaiswal was lecturer in department of Philosophy, Arbind Mahila College, Patna. She has filed the above writ for payment of arrear salary. 4. That the bill was submitted by the college from 1982-83 to 2003-04 with the claim of Rs. 5,31,168/-. 5. That the bill was placed before the auditor deputed by State Government. Auditor has checked and recommended the bill for payment as per details hereunder. Claim - Rs. 5,31,168.00 Already paid - Rs. 2,56,801.00 Recommended to release-Rs.2,74,367.00 which is paid to the petitioner.” 2 That being so, when the petitioner also is not represented and there is no rejoinder to the counter affidavit filed by the University despite its service on the counsel for the petitioner on 12.12.2011, this Court must accept the submission of the learned counsel for the University that after making payment of due amount this writ application has become infructuous. That being so, this application is dismissed as having become infructuous. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
