IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13073 of 2005 DR.BHIM NATH JHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4 11.05.2010 Mr. Navjot Yeshu, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Santosh Kumar Jha, learned counsel for the University and Mr. Shailendra Kumar Jha, learned A.C. to S.C.9 for the State are present. The petitioner superannuated from the post of Professor with effect from 28.2.2005, and filed the writ petition for payment of his post retiral dues and dues towards arrears of salary upon implementation of the U.G.C. scale of pay in the University. Admittedly the retiral dues has since been paid to him during the pendency of the proceeding and which fact is also admitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner who however, with reference to paragraph 3 of the supplementary affidavit filed today, submits that certain part of the dues towards arrears of salary upon the implementation of the revised U.G.C. scale of pay in the University from 1.1.1996 to 28.2.2005 is yet pending for payment. He submits that out of the total - 2 - admissible due of Rs. 9,91,748.80 towards arrears of the aforesaid amount, the University has made payment of only Rs. 3,15,503/- and a balance of Rs. 6,76,245.80 has yet remained pending for payment, a detailed calculation chart has also been enclosed to the supplementary affidavit filed today. Having regard to the circumstances that almost the entire dues as set out in the writ petition has been paid to the petitioner, no purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending and the same is disposed of with a direction to the respondent No.5, the Finance Officer, L.N. Mithila University to ensure the payment of the arrears of salary amount remaining to be paid to the petitioner on account of the revised U.G.C. scale of pay, within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
