Petitioner Versus 1.The Lalit Narayan Mithila University through its Vice Chancellor, Kameshwar Nagar, Darbhanga Dr.Mishri Lal Thakur. 2.The Registrar, Lalit Narayan Mithila University, Kameshwar Nagar, Darbhanga, Dr.Naresh Chandra Jha. 3.The Finance Officer, Lalit Narayan Mithila University, Kameshwar Nagar, Darbhanga, Uday Chandra Jha. 4.The State of Bihar through the Secretary, Higher Education, Bihar, Patna. ----------- 4. 19/01/2009 Heard learned counsel fore the petitioner and learned counsel for L.N.Mithila University. Admittedly, petitioner had earlier approached this Court to claim lawful dues after his retirement from service as a Professor in the University. That writ petition was disposed of finally by order dated 2.8.1993, contained in Annexure-1, with certain directions to examine the claim of the petitioner. Admittedly, some amount was found due and payable to the petitioner and pursuant to that order payments were made. Petitioner preferred another writ petition in the year 2000. In paragraph 11 of the present MJC, petitioner has given details of the prayers made in the writ petition of the - 2 - year 2000. The reliefs claimed show that he had demanded arrears of difference of D.A. since December, 1994 with a grievance that he has not been paid full arrears. He had also demanded interim relief payable to retired professors for the period 1.10.1995 to 31.7.2000 as well as payment of arrears of difference of pay on account of revision as per UGC scale from 1.1.1986 to 31.12.1989. The writ petition of the year 2000 was withdrawn by the petitioner as per order dated 22.4.2003 (Annexure-3) with permission of the Court and liberty to file contempt application. On hearing the parties, we are of the view that the major grievances of the petitioner relate to the period after the disposal of his first writ petition and require consideration first by the University authorities. Hence, this contempt petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner that if he intends to pursue his grievances then he may file a representation in the matter before the Registrar of the University along with a copy of this order. Such representation if filed within two months should be disposed of expeditiously and preferably - 3 - within a period of three months in accordance with law. If anything is found payable to the petitioner on account of orders passed on his representation, such dues must be paid to him without any delay. If any of the reliefs is denied to the petitioner, reasons in brief may be communicated to him so that if he is advised, he may pursue his remedy in accordance with law. The University authorities should provide a chart of calculation of dues to the petitioner so that he may be in a position to check the correctness of calculations. Pradeep/ (Shiva Kirti Singh,J.)
