IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3365 of 2005 DR.KALIKA PRASAD THAKUR Versus THE MAGADH UNIVERSITY & ORS ----------- 14/ 14.05.2010 Mr. R.S. Pradhan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Jay Shankar Barnwal, learned counsel representing the University are present. Parties are in agreement that the post retiral dues and other dues found admissible to the petitioner has since been paid during the pendency of the proceedings. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, disputes the calculation of interest made by the University on the entitlements. Having regard to the situation that the principle amount of post retiral dues together with admissible interest thereon as per the calculation of the University has been made over to the petitioner, I am of the opinion that no purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending and the same is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to raise his grievance in relation to the element of interest on the post retiral dues paid to him before respondent no. 4, the Financial Advisor, Magadh University, Gaya together with calculative details and supportive circulars on the issue and which shall be considered and disposed of in accordance with law by respondent no. 4 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of such 2 representation. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, seeks permission to withdraw the interlocutory application bearing I.A. No. 4503 of 2010 questioning the recovery proceedings undertaken by the University as a consequence of downgrading the scale, to enable him to challenge the legality thereof in an appropriate proceeding and before an appropriate forum. Permission is accorded and the interlocutory application is permitted to be withdrawn. The writ petition is disposed of with the observations aforesaid. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J.)
