IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2748 of 2009 NAGENDRA PRASAD SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 28.2.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner, a retired Librarian of K.S.College, Laherisarai, is that even when or his counter part Librarian in other constituent colleges were/ are being paid their salary in 6th revised UGC pay scale, the petitioner till the date of his retirement had to remain satisfied with the salary of pay scale granted by the Government of Bihar. Counsel for the petitioner submits that obviously this discriminatory treatment has resulted into recurring monetary less for the petitioner as he has been paid his entire emolument till the date of his retirement i.e. 31.7.2008, in a lesser scale of pay and the consequential retirement benefits. This Court would not find any material in this writ application from which the reason for such discriminatory treatment could be explained. Keeping this application 2 pending awaiting filing of counter affidavit again would be of no avail. That being so, this Court would direct the petitioner to file a compact self contained representation addressed to the Registrar of the University wherein he may enclose any or every documentary evidence that he may like to press in support of his claim for grant of 6th revised UGC pay scale. The Registrar of the University after receipt of such representation of the petitioner will be under obligation to pass an appropriate order with the approval of the Vice Chancellor within a period of three months from the date of filing of such representation by the petitioner. It goes without saying that if the petitioner is found entitled for any payment the same shall also be extended to him in the next one month. Let it be however, made clear that this court has not expressed any opinion of such claim of the petitioner and therefore it would be open for the University to pass any appropriate order in accordance with 3 law. This application, accordingly, stands disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
