Hathwa, District Gopalganj … Respondents. ----------- 5. 28.7.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. This writ application in fact has already stood dismissed as against petitioners no. 2 to 9 in view of non- compliance of per-emptory order and now the prayer of only petitioner no.1 survives for adjudication. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows: “(1) To fix the salary of the petitioners in their respective scale from the date of their initial appointment and to pay the arrears of difference of salary to the petitioners from the same date. 2 (2) To pay arrear of UGC pay scale as given to other similarly situated staff of the University. (3) To pay adequate interest at Bank rate and compensation to the petitioners for their hardships and mental torture.” A counter affidavit has been filed in this case wherein it has been stated that though the services of the petitioner have been regularized by the State Govt., the State Govt. has put a condition of payment of salary from the current financial year 1998-99. Such order, however, has not been assailed in this writ application and therefore, petitioner cannot claim payment of salary having accepted regularization made by the State Govt. under the same order. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
