IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1896 of 2006 MANGNU JHA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 9.5.2008 In this application, prayer of the petitioner is for initiating a proceeding for contempt against the opposite party for non-compliance of the order dated 20.9.2004 passed in C.W.J.C.No.4386 of 1999. While disposing of the writ application, I had directed that the dues of the non-teaching employees, for which the fund has been released, be paid to them within the stipulated time. Complaining non-compliance of the aforesaid order, the present application has been filed. Mr.Ratan Kr.Kumar, appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner though is entitled for payment of a sum of Rs.2,29,155/-, but he has been paid only Rs.1,89,947/-. From the order of the State government (Annexure 7), it is evident that although the University asked for payment of a sum of Rs.2,29,155/- to the petitioner, but the State government had found only a sum of Rs.1,89,947/- admissible to the petitioner. Mr.Maitin, appearing on behalf of the respondent- L.N.Mithila University submits that what has been released by the State government has been paid to the petitioner. In the writ application, I have not adjudicated the claim of the petitioner and the amount found admissible having 2 been paid, I am of the opinion that it is not a fit case in which proceeding for contempt needs to be initiated. Petitioner, if so advised, may take recourse to any other appropriate proceeding for payment of the amount which he considers due to him. Application stands dismissed with the observation aforesaid.
