THE PRINCIPAL, RAM LAKHAN SINGH YADAV COLLEGE, AURANGABAD. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESPONDENTS ************ 4 29.11.2010 The petitioners are working under the Magadh University. A supplementary affidavit has been filed making formal corrections in the statements made in paragraph 4 of the writ application. The petitioners are aggrieved by the fact that they had not been paid their salary from December, 1995 to May, 2000 by the Magadh University despite the clear order by the Registrar of the Magadh University, Bodh-Gaya to the parent colleges from where the petitioners were sent on deputation to different colleges. The period of non-payment of salary is from December, 1995 to May, 2000. It is admitted that after they return to their parent 2 college, they are being regularly paid their salary but it is unfortunate that they were not paid the salary during the period of deputation. It appears from the pleadings in the writ application that the petitioners have made several representations to the Finance Officer, Registrar, Magadh University which was duly forwarded by the Principal of the Colleges where the petitioners were posted. However, no action was taken by the University in meeting the grievances of the petitioners. I cannot understand that why there should be any difficulty in making the payment for the deputation period in view of the clear directions given in Annexure-1, Memo No. 425/GIA dated 3.11.2002. I, therefore, direct the Registrar and the Finance Officer of the Magadh University to take up this matter expeditiously and definitely within a period of eight weeks on receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioners are directed to produce a copy of this order on or before eight weeks. The aforesaid officers are directed to ensure that the admissible dues of the petitioners are paid within a period of three months thereafter. If the petitioners are not paid their dues within three months, each of the petitioner would be entitled to be paid Rs. 50,000/- for delay in payment. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
