IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8249 of 2003 SHREE BHADRA JHA Versus L.N.MITHILA UNIVERSITY & ORS ----------- 4. 07.08.2008 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State as also the learned Counsel for the University. The petitioner is stated to have superannuated on 31.7.2000 from the post of Professor of History from R.N.A.R. College, Samastipur under Lalit Narayan Mithila University. He is before this Court with certain claims for arrears of salary from 26.9.1991 to 29.7.1993. In addition, it is submitted that only 90% provisional pension is being paid to him and that too from July 2006 only. No other retiral dues have been paid. The writ application is disposed with directions to the petitioner to file his grievances before the Grievance Cell of the University in terms of the order dated 17.7.2008 in CWJC No. 2949 of 2007 and analogous cases. Even while disposing this application in similar terms, this Court considers it proper to observe both for the benefit of the University and the State Government that those who have retired shall stand in a completely separate category from those who are in service. For a person who has retired, his pensionery dues, which necessarily has to be less than the salary to one in employment, is the only source of survival. This Court therefore directs that even in terms of the order dated 17.7.2008 the case of persons who have superannuated shall be treated on priority for disposal in accordance with law.
