The Registrar and the Finance Officer of Lalit Narain Mishra University in compliance of the order of this Court dated 17.3.2011 and 4.5.2011 are personally present. I.A No. 3550 of 2011 has been filed today on behalf of Vice Chancellor, L.N Mithila University for exempting his personal appearance in terms of the earlier order of this Court dated 4.5.2011. Considering the facts mentioned therein the prayer for exemption of the Vice Chancellor of the University is allowed. Pursuant to the order of this Court dated 17.03.2011 and 04.05.2011, University and 2 its authorities have woken up and have also filed their show cause reply to this contempt application which was filed way back on 10.11.2009. In the show cause reply, it has been stated that the representation of the petitioner was disposed of by an order dated 09.05.2011, as contained in Annexure-B to the show cause and the admitted amount on the head of earned leave has been paid to the petitioner on 08.05.2011, whereas the arrears of pension and gratuity had already been paid to him on 30.10.2010. It has further been stated that the steps have been taken for payment of Group Insurance amount payable by the Life Insurance Corporation of India, whereas the earlier amount under the same heading as payable was already paid to the petitioner on 06.09.2006. Thus on the basis of the orders contained in Annexure-B and the earlier communication made to the petitioner vide office letter No. LC 729/10 dated 30.10.2010, it has been sought to be contended that the order of this Court stands fully complied. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that certain payment on the head of pension for four months from August 2005 to 3 December 2005 has not yet been made/paid. He would also submit that there are certain other grievances which have not been ventilated by the University. In the considered opinion of this court, when no particular amount was quantified in the order passed in the connected writ application whose alleged non compliance had led to filing of this contempt application, this Court cannot hold the opposite parties guilty for not paying any certain amount on any specific head. Since, the order of this Court was confined to disposal of the representation and that has been done, though belatedly, there will be no question of continuing with this contempt application That being so, this contempt application is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to approach the contempt authorities of the University for raising his grievance confined to payment of retirement benefits only. Personal appearance of the Registrar and Finance Officer of L. N Mithila University is hereby dispensed with. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
