The learned counsel appearing for the respondent- University submits that the grievances of the petitioner shall be considered as per law without delay. In the above circumstances, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that although the petitioner had represented her grievances earlier before the respondent-authorities, but for expeditious disposal of the pending claims as highlighted in this writ application, the petitioner proposes to file a fresh representation before the Registrar, L.N. Mithila University, Darbhanga (respondent no.3). In case such a representation is filed stating the details of the unpaid claims as also enclosing the copy of the relevant documents, if any, in support of such claims along with the certified copy of the present order within a period of six weeks, the grievances of the petitioner as raised in her representation be considered in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of four months on receipt of such representation, so that the grievances of the petitioner as raised in her representation may be settled at the earliest and the admitted dues, if any, may also be paid with interest permissible under the rules. However, upon consideration, if any of the claims or any part of the claims is found not admissible, the same shall be informed to the petitioner with the reasons thereof. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observations/directions. (Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.) PNM
