MITHILA UNIVERSITY, DARBHANGA ----------- 2 31.3.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioners and the 6 counsel appearing for the State. Petitioners, in all these writ applications, have prayed for a direction to the Vice-Chancellor and Registrar of L.N.Mithila University, Darbhanga for making payment of difference of salary on account of enhancement of their salary in the U.G.C. scale. Petitioners are the teachers working on different posts in different colleges which are constituent units of L.N.Mithila University, Darbhanga. As stated in the respective writ applications of the petitioners, that they are legally entitlement for receiving the arrears of difference of salary on account of enhancement of their salary in the U.G.C. scale, despite this fact, their legal dues arenot being paid by the University. Considering the pleadings in the writ applications, there seems to be no dispute relating to entitlement, for which prayer has been made. I find it proper that without going into the details of the petitioners’ claim, all these matters be disposed of with a direction to the petitioners to submit 7 their fresh representations, along with details of their claims before the Registrar of the University, within one month from today. In case of filing such representation by the Petitioners, the Registrar of the University will consider their claims, after making verification from the connected records. Representations of the petitioners should be disposed of by the Registrar within eight weeks from the date of filing of representations. In case there is any disputed amount, the refusal shall be made by passing a reasoned order. In case all the amounts are admitted, payment be made within further eight weeks of disposal of the representations. However, if the University is not, in possession of requisite funds, it will be appropriate that requisition shall be sent to the Department of Higher Education, Human Resource Development Department, Govt. of Bihar, immediately after disposal of the representations. The State Government and its authorities in the Higher Education Department are also directed to release requisite funds for payment to the petitioners, as they are entitled for such amounts. The fund be released by the concerned 8 authorities of the State Government without delay, preferably within eight weeks from the date of receipt of requisition. The writ applications stand allowed.
