In view of the facts and circumstances, the court is of the opinion that instead of keeping the matter pending, the writ petition can be disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh representation before respondent no.3 in respect of claim made in the present writ petition within a period of six weeks from today. If such representation is filed, respondent no.3/Registrar, L.N. Mithila University is required to examine the same and pass appropriate order in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of filing of such representation. If respondent no.3 considers the claim of the petitioner as genuine, he is required to pass order for clearing the dues. Even in case of refusal, respondent no.3 is required to pass a speaking order and communicate the same to the petitioner within three months from the date of filing of such representation. 3 With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of.
