Mahila College, Begusarai, District-Begusarai. ..............Respondents. ----------- 3/ 12.01.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the counsel appearing for the State. Petitioners are non-teaching employees of S.K. Mahila College, Begusarai. They have not been paid the arrears of difference of revised pay scale and other allowances payable to the university employees, such as, house rent allowance, medical allowance from 01.04.1987 onwards and arrears of deferred dearness allowance. Petitioners’ case is that their entitlement is not in - 3 - dispute. In the year 1998 the State Government had directed all the universities to make available the details of arrears of the salary of the teaching and non-teaching employees of the colleges. Pursuant to the letter of the State Government, the university had also directed the Principal of the college for making available the details of the claims of the non-teaching employees of the college to the Registrar of the university and that has also been made available by the Principal of the college. Still petitioners’ legal dues are not being paid. This writ application is being disposed of directing the petitioners to submit their representations before the Finance Officer, L.N. Mithila University, who will consider the case of the petitioners, pass a reasoned order and considering the entitlement of the petitioners, will take all necessary steps for its payment. In case it is found that necessary funds are not available, the Registrar of the university will send a requisition to the State Government and its authority and the State Government will make available the requisite funds. A reasoned order must be passed by the respondent Registrar of the University within six weeks from the date of the filing of the representation and entire payment should be made within three months from the date of filing of the representation. The calculation chart shall be made available to the petitioners, individually. Sanjeet/ (Mridula Mishra, J.) - 4 -
