Mithila University, Darbhanga, it appears that in compliance of the order of the Registrar of the University dated 4.2.2010, Annexure-A the admitted retiral dues of the petitioner i.e. pension, gratuity and leave encashment has been paid and calculation chart giving details of the payment made has been annexed therewith. Petitioner disputes the deduction of Rs.78,168/- from the gratuity amount paid to him. He also disputes payment of leave encashment for only 150 days as according to him leave encashment should be allowed for 300 days, which is being disputed by the counsel for the University as according to her leave encashment is permissible only to the extent of 150 days. Petitioner further asserts that income tax was deducted both at the level of University and - 2 - College but the income being one, income tax deduction should have been made at one place. The grievance about the deduction of the income tax at two places should be raised before the income tax authorities. For the remaining grievance petitioner is at liberty to challenge the reasoned order passed by the Registrar of the University dated 4.2.2010 along with the calculation chart annexed therewith. The Registrar should provide the details of the deduction of Rs.78,168/- made from the gratuity amount of the petitioner. This contempt application is, accordingly, disposed of.
