IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.3168 of 2009 DR. CHANDRAWATI @ DR. CHANDRAWATI SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. ----------- 06. 10.11.2010 After much deliberations and exchange of pleadings there are only two issues which are required to be looked into. One is number of days of earned leave to which the petitioner is entitled to. According to the petitioner, the minimum is 240 days as would be evident from a decision which has been rendered in this regard in the case of Prof. Surendra Bahadur Singh v. State of Bihar, 2006 (4) PLJR 369. Attention of the Court is drawn to para 3 of the decision where the court has taken note of that University employees are entitled to at least 240 days earned leave. This aspect is something which the University is required to be looked into and take an appropriate steps in this regard preferably within three months of now with a caution that there may not be an occasion to approach this Court for such kind of claim. The other aspect is that petitioner has been paid so-called difference of salary from 1.1.1996 which is the pay scale, which the petitioner was entitled to on the basis of UGC pay scale. The details of the break-up of the payment made to the petitioner has not been indicated. Therefore, the petitioner is in dark as to the basis on which difference has been worked out and payment made. 2 The Registrar, Patna University would be well advised to furnish the break-up within four weeks from the date of presentation of a copy of this order. Matter stands disposed of in light of above. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
