The Director, Human Resources Development Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. ----------- 02. 29.11.2010 There is no counter affidavit on behalf of the respondent B N Mandal University. Looking at the nature of the relief sought for in the present writ application no purpose would be served by waiting for a counter affidavit as such because the primary reliefs are related to payment of salary and others dues of the petitioner, who happens to be a University Professor having served the institution in various capacities under the University. The claim made before the Vice Chancellor has been annexed with the writ application as Annexure-6 but it is the silence on the part of the respondents which has brought the petitioner to the Court. The writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the Vice Chancellor, B N Mandal University that staking cognizance of the 2 claim made by the petitioner especially Annexure-6, details of the claim have been annexed with Annexures 4 and 5, he shall take steps to work out the modality for payment of the dues which, according to the University or the Auditor appointed for the University, are found payable within a reasonable time frame of four months from the date of production /communication of a copy of this order. If there is a serious dispute on any head, the Vice Chancellor would be well advised to inform the petitioner or his counsel on those heads within the same time frame. The writ application is disposed of with above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
