Ghoghardiha, P.O. KHutauna Dist. Madhubani. 7.The Director, Higher Education government of Bihar, P.S. & Dist. Patna. ----------- 5 29/3/2010 No one appears for the petitioner. This contempt application has been filed allegedly for non compliance of order of this Court dated 29.11.2001 in C.W.J.C. No. 8011 of 2001, wherein in the operative portion this Court had directed the authorities of the University to dispose of the representation of the petitioner as also for making payment of the admissible amount. It is surprising to note that despite expiry of a period of more than seven years opposite party nos. 2 and 3 have not filed their show cause and therefore it could not be known as to whether representation in question filed by the petitioner has been disposed of or not. There is however one show cause filed by the 2 Government of Bihar from which it appears that for the admitted entitlement of the petitioner to the tune of Rs.1,67,308=83 paise the University was not only given funds but also necessary direction was given to make payment of such amount. In that view of the matter, no useful purpose will be served in keeping this petition pending and therefore this application is disposed of with a direction to the University to ensure about strict compliance of the earlier order of this Court, if not already complied, within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed of. Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
