Pleader no.20, who appears on behalf of Respondent no.1 and learned counsel appearing on behalf of Respondent nos. 2 to 4/ Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur. The present writ petition was filed with a prayer to direct the Respondents to fix and pay full pension and also to pay other retiral dues of the petitioner. In this case, number of counter affidavits have been filed on behalf of the Respondent /University. Along with 5th counter affidavit, which was filed in the year 2009, the University has brought on record an order dated 14.2.2009 passed by the Registrar of the University, whereby it was made clear that all the retiral dues of the petitioner were paid. The order dated 14.2.2009 indicates that on the date of order, i.e. on 14.2.2009, an amount of Rs.2, 73,938/- was outstanding under the head of difference of salary. Neither learned counsel for the petitioner nor learned counsel for the University is in a position to inform the 2 Court as to whether the said amount of difference of salary , which was indicated in the order dated 14.02.2009 passed by the Registrar of the University, has been paid or not. In view of the fact that most of the retiral dues of the petitioner have already been paid, there is no need to keep the matter further pending. The writ petition stands disposed of. However, while disposing it of, it is desirable to direct the Respondent no.3/the Registrar, T.M.Bhagalpur University that if the amount of difference of salary i.e. Rs.2, 73,938/- as indicated in his order dated 14.02.2009 has not been paid, he must pay the said amount to the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
