IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2796 of 2011 Dr. Akshay Kumar Mishra Versus Dr. K.N.Dubey The V.C.T.M.Bhagalpur University WITH MJC No.2797 of 2011 Bibhash Chandra Mishra Versus Dr. K.N.Dubey The V.C.T.M. Bhagalpur University WITH MJC No.3062 of 2011 Fuleshwar Pd. Singh @ Phuleshwar Pd. Singh & Ors Versus Dr. K.N.Dubey, The Vice Chancellor, T.M., Bhagalpur University WITH MJC No.3619 of 2011 Dr. Rewati Raman Lal Das Versus Dr. K.N.Dubey The Vice-Chancellor, T.M., Bhagalpur University WITH MJC No.4491 of 2011 Durga Sharan Singh & Ors Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors WITH MJC No.3638 of 2011 Dr. Nilambuj Kishore Verma Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 07 09.11.2011 All these cases are from T.M. Bhagalpur University. These contempt applications were filed alleging non-compliance of this Court’s order in regards to age of superannuation of the teaching staff and consequential benefits. Mr. S.C. Ghosh, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the University states that in all these cases full compliance has now been made. He states that all these petitioners who would have otherwise retired on attaining the age of 62 years would now retire on completing the age of 65 years. In all these cases any remuneration which they did not receive has been regularized - 2 - including payment of revised pay scales. Some of the learned counsels for the petitioners say that they do not have full instructions in the matter. Affidavit having been filed on behalf of the University and Mr. Ghosh making statement at the Bar upon instructions received from the University, I have no reason to disbelieve the same. Upon this undertaking that due compliance of the order of this Court has been made in this regard, in my view, these contempt applications have become infructuous. However, before closing the proceeding, I may remind the University that in terms of the judgment of this Court as well as the State Litigation Policy, the judgment had to be applied to all persons whether they moved this Court or not who may similarly situated. Learned Counsels appearing for the teachers point out that this is not the case in Bhagalpur University. If it is so, it is regrettable. It would only give rise to more contempt applications because the judgment in terms said that it would apply to all Universities and all teachers. It is for the Vice-Chancellor to see that there is full compliance of the order. With these observations and directions, these applications stand disposed of. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
