The Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. 7. The Registrar, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. …. …. Respondent 2nd set. ----------- 6. 27.2.2009. Based on the rejoinder to the counter affidavit filed on behalf of respondent no.1 to 3, the dispute finally boils down to three heads. The first claim of the petitioner is non-payment of the revised U.G.C. pay-scale from 1.4.1997 to 31.12.2001. The second head is difference of pay due to promotion of the petitioner from the post of Reader to University Professor in the year 1992 for which a communication dated 27.11.2003 was made with the Registrar, J.P.University by the Professor Incharge of Rajendra College, Chapra, which has been brought on record as Annexure-8 along with calculation chart with today’s rejoinder. The third head is a claim from Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur, where the petitioner states that he has been paid a sum of Rs.74,366/-, whereas according to the petitioner it should be Rs.1,20,430/-. Learned counsel representing J.P. University submits that requisition for release of fund for payment of difference of salary under the U.G.C. pay-scale has already been raised on the State Government and - 2 - the same will be paid to the petitioner as soon as it is received. He has no explanation to offer with regard to difference of salary on account of promotion of the petitioner to the post of University Professor. In this regard the Court directs that the respondent Vice-Chancellor, J.P. University shall take into consideration the communication contained in Annexure-8 along with the calculation chart and if the same is found to be in order, he shall also raise a claim on the State for release of this fund for payment to the petitioner. This ought to be done within a period of eight weeks. So far as the third dispute with regard to the claim of the petitioner from Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur is concerned, that is a matter of accounting, therefore, no final opinion is rendered on the same. However, the Registrar, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur is hereby directed that he shall furnish the calculation chart to the petitioner indicating the details as to how a sum of Rs.74,366/- has been worked out and whether the claim of the petitioner for Rs.1,20,430/- is entertainable or not. The Registrar shall forward the calculation chart within a period of eight weeks from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. The J.P. University is directed to make payment to the petitioner the moment the fund is received from the State Government under the head indicated in the earlier part of the order. The writ application stands disposed of with the above direction. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
