IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.695 of 2009 SUO MOTU CONTEMPT AGAINST VICE CHANCELLOR & REGISTRAR, L.N. MITHILA UNIVERSITY ------- 4. 25/06/2010 Husband of the petitioner, a retired Head of the Department of Chemistry in J.N. College, Nehra, Darbhanga, died on 17.01.2008. Petitioner has filed the connected writ application (C.W.J.C.No.8543 of 2008) for a direction to the respondent University to make payment of different items of death-cum-retirement dues of her husband, as mentioned in paragraph 1 thereof. This Court, in a batch of cases, including the connected writ application, passed a detailed order on 12.9.2008 giving certain directions to the respondent University for payment of dues of the petitioners. The order dated 12.9.2008 and subsequent common orders passed in the batch of cases have been referred to in the order passed in M.J.C.No.566 of 2009. After this contempt proceeding was initiated, no show cause has been filed on behalf of the officials of the University - 2 - till date. However, a counter affidavit was filed on 24.3.2009 in which calculation chart of the dues of the petitioner has been annexed as Annexure-A. This shows that there has been some compliance of orders of this Court although not in true letter and spirit. However, since petitioner has not disputed the calculation made in the counter affidavit, this Court does not find it appropriate to hold the contemnors guilty in this case. Therefore, this contempt proceeding is dropped and the matter is disposed of. Pradeep/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
