Recently, on 25th March, 2011, a vague counter affidavit has been filed with several ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’. 2 It is necessary to quote statement made in paragraph no. 6 of the counter affidavit which is as follows: “That for getting those documents the University has already written to the petitioner and states before the Hon’ble Court that as soon as those papers are received in the University within the fortnight of receiving the same they will be sent to the auditors and payments will be made to the petitioner within a month from the date of return of the documents from the office of the auditors.” Sri Ajay Bihari Sinha, learned counsel appearing on behalf of University submits that University is taking all steps to clear all the retiral dues. The writ petition stands allowed with direction to the respondents, particularly, respondent no. 1/Vice Chancellor, B.R.A. Bihar University, Muzaffarpur, to take all steps to clear all the retiral dues of the petitioner with admissible statutory interest within a period of two months from the date of receipt / production of a copy of this order.
