Mr. Sanjya Kumar Pandey, AC to GP-15. For the University : Mr. Pushkar Narain Shahi. ------------ 03 10.08.2010 In all these writ petitions the only dispute is with regard to the implementation of the U.G.C. package as applicable to the Readers with effect from the year 01.01.1996. Learned counsel for the petitioners rightly points out that that dispute stands fully resolved by this Court in the case of Dr. Binod Kumar Pandey Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors. being C.W.J.C. No.18552 of 2009 and analogous cases disposed of on 05.07.2010. In view of the law as laid down and the interpretation as given by this Court with regard to dispute in question, the dispute in the present case being the same, the same would squarely apply to the petitioners’ case as well. This Court would only clarify that all Teachers of all the Universities of Bihar having the same problem with their respective Universities would be treated in similar manner as directed by this Court in the case referred to above without having to get orders of this Court individually for everybody. That would be law as laid down and as applicable. - 3 - In view of the aforesaid, the three writ petitioners, two of whom have retired and one who is serving would be entitled to payment of salary on the basis of the law as declared by this Court in the above case. Payment would be made to them on proper calculation accordingly within two months from the date of production of copy of this order. The responsibility to ensure payment would be on the Finance Officer. Petitioners if they have any other grievance, they would be at liberty to make representation, which would also be considered and disposed of by the Finance Officer by a speaking order in this regard within the said period of two months. The writ petitions are accordingly disposed of. Trivedi (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
