IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12433 of 2007 ABINASH KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 23.03.2009 Heard leaned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. No one appears on behalf of the University when the matter is called out. The claim in this writ application is for arrears of salary from 1980 till the year 2007. Learned Counsel for the petitioner seeks to persuade this Court that the quantification of the dues is not in dispute and stands quantified by the College. If that be so and the dues be quantified, this court directs the University to examine the claim of the petitioner. After examination of the claim for arrears of salary, if the University finds the dues to be legitimate or it finds any part of the dues to be legitimate this Court expects that the University shall pay the same to the petitioner within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order. If the University finds that the claim or any part of the claim is not legitimate the Vice Chancellor of the University shall be obliged to pass a reasoned and speaking order to that extent. This order has been passed in presence of the Counsel for the State. The Court expects that any requisition made by the University in pursuance of examination of such claim of the petitioner shall be duly complied by the State and the petitioner shall not be compelled to approach this Court again by way of a fresh writ application or contempt application. Liberty is granted to the State to pass appropriate orders for payment of any legitimate dues of the petitioner in a staggered manner, if necessary. So that while the petitioner may start receiving the benefits of the arrears, others may not be deprived. The petitioner shall be at liberty to file a representation for any other grievances that he may have on this issue. The writ application stands disposed off. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
