IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No 3502 of 2007 NAGENDRA THAKUR, son of late Shree Ramawtar Thakur Resident of C/o Surendra Singh, North to Civil Court, Siwan, Daha Nadi Ka Purvi Kinara, PO & PS & Dist - Siwan - Petitioner Versus 1 THE STATE OF BIHAR, through the Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Bihar, Patna 2 The Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Government of Bihar, Vikash Bhawan, Patna 3 Jai Prakash University, Chapra through its Registrar, Dist - Chapra 4 The Vice Chancellor, Jai Prakash University, Chapra, Dist - Chapra 5 The Finance Officer, Jai Prakash University, Chapra, Dist - Chapra 6 Baba Saheb Bheem Rao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur through its Registrar, Dist - Muzaffarpur 7 The Vice Chancellor, Baba Saheb Bheem Rao Ambedkar Bihar University, Dist - Muzaffarpur 8 The Registrar, Bheem Rao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur, Dist - Muzaffarpur 9 The Finance Officer, Baba Saheb Bheem Rao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur, Dist - Muzaffarpur - Respondents ----------- 7 24.10.2008 The counter affidavit filed on behalf of the B R Ambedkar University is not acceptable to the Court. There are obvious mistakes therein and they are too obvious to be taken as mistakes. If University cannot employ proper Accountants, the problems will only multiply many folds and this Court would be relegated to that of an Accountant. In the claim statement, as sought to be settled by the University, obviously for the period 1986 to January 1988, there is no mention of revised pay scale difference though this claim was specifically made by the College on behalf of the petitioner. There are similar claims which have remained unanswered in any form only increasing the burden of this Court uselessly. There is no point in keeping the writ petition pending. Petitioner is directed to file a detailed representation before the Registrar 2 pointing out the differences and raising a claim in respect thereof. The Registrar would acknowledge receipt of such representation and within fifteen days thereof respond to the petitioner with detailed explanations comprehensively by ordinary non-account knowing citizens. Any amount found payable would be paid by the University forthwith without waiting for any claim settlement from the Government or for any other reason. If petitioner has any grievance, petitioner will have his remedies therefrom. Counsel for J P University states that so far as Group Insurance is concerned, they have already paid the same alongwith simple interest of 10% and the question, whether they are liable to pay alongwith 12.5% compound interest, is pending before the Supreme Court. University will abide by the judgment of the Supreme Court in this regard and pay any differential amount found payable after the judgment of the Supreme Court. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
