IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2197 of 2009 SITA RAM RAUT Versus THE L.N.MITHILA UNIVERSITY &OR ----------- 2. 13.2.2009 Surendra/ Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner, who has retired from service on 31.7.2005, is claiming payment of his retirement benefit. There is no dispute that the petitioner was an employee of the University and was, therefore, entitled to certain retirement benefit. Thus, whatever admitted amount of retirement benefit is admissible to the petitioner the same must be paid keeping in view that a period of more than 3 ½ years has already lapsed since the date of his retirement. This Court accordingly would direct the Registrar of Mithila University to take a final decision in this regard within a period of three months from the date of filing of a fresh representation by the petitioner alongwith a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observation, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.)
