THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE SECRETARY, HIGHER EDUCATION, BIHAR, PATNA. 2. THE L.N.MITHILA UNIVERSITY, DARBHANGA THROUGH THE VICE CHANCELLOR. 3. THE VICE-CHANCELLOR, L.N.MITHILA UNIVERSITY, DARBHANGA. 4. THE REGISTRAR, L.N.MITHILA UNIVERSITY, DARBHANGA. 5. THE FINANCE OFFICER, L.N.MITHILA UNIVERSITY, DARBHANGA. 6. THE PRINCIPAL, J.N.COLLEGE, MADHUBANI, DISTT.- MADHUBANI UNDER L.N.MITHILA UNIVERSITY. ---Respondents ----------- 2. 30.6.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the respondent-University as also the State. This writ application has been filed for issuance of direction to the respondent-authorities for payment of interest over the delayed payment of retiral dues. Mr Parthasarthy, learned counsel appearing for the respondent-University submits that the writ petition is not maintainable as the petitioner had earlier moved this Court for payment of retiral dues, which was disposed of in terms of the order dated 19th September, 2003 passed in C.W.J.C. No.7054 of 2003 as stated in paragraph 7 of the writ application. It is further submitted that the petitioner subsequently filed a contempt application, vide M.J.C. No.2386 of 2008, alleging non-compliance of the order as he was not paid his retiral dues. It is submitted that during the pendency of the said contempt application, payments were made. However, it is submitted that the interest admissible over the delayed payment of 2 retiral dues was not paid. It is further submitted that the aforesaid M.J.C. is still pending. In this view of the matter, I do not think it fit to entertain this writ application and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
