(B) For giving all consequential benefits on the basis of the pay last drawn by the petitioner till his date of retirement and that the impugned order itself had contained a clause providing effective alternative 2 remedy of moving before the State Government for removal of any anomaly in the pay fixation statement of the petitioner, this court is of the considered opinion that his present writ application without exhausting the alternative remedy for removal of his grievance to any anomaly in pay fixation was/is wholly premature. If therefore, the petitioner would act in accordance with Paragraph-6 of the impugned order and submit his representation in the prescribed manner through the competent authority of Patna University to the Director, Higher Education the same would be considered disposed of in accordance with law. It is however made clear, that this court has not gone into the merits of the petitioner and has simply held this writ application to be not maintainable in absence of exhausting the alternative remedy as provided in the impugned order itself. With the aforementioned observations, this writ application is disposed of. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
