IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.737 of 2009 SUO MOTU CONTEMPT AGAINST VICE CHANCELLOR & REGISTRAR, L.N. MITHILA UNIVERSITY ------- 4. 25/06/2010 Mother of the petitioner, a retired Professor of Philosophy of M.M.College, Darbhanga under L.N.Mithila University, died on 19.2.2007. His father had pre-deceased his mother. Petitioner has filed the connected writ application (C.W.J.C.No.13386 of 2007) for a direction to the respondent University to pay the pension amount which is due to his mother since 01.03.1998 to 31.05.2002 and arrears of pension till 19.02.2007 in revised U.G.C. scale as well as arrears of dearness allowances, difference of leave encashment, difference of gratuity as per revised U.G.C. scale, arrears of pay, dearness allowances, difference of dearness allowance, difference of pay as per new U.G.C. scale since 01.01.1996 to 28.02.1998 and its consequential benefit till 19.02.2007 with interest. This Court, in a batch of cases, including the connected writ application, - 2 - passed a detailed order on 12.9.2008 giving certain directions to the respondent University for payment of dues of the petitioners. The order dated 12.9.2008 and subsequent common orders passed in the batch of cases have been referred to in the order passed in M.J.C.No.566 of 2009. After this contempt proceeding was initiated, a show cause has been filed on behalf of the Registrar of the University on 27.1.2010. Along with the show cause, a calculation chart of dues of the deceased employee has been annexed as Annexure-A. This shows that there has been some compliance of orders of this Court although not in true letter and spirit. However, since petitioner has not filed any reply to the show cause and has not disputed the calculation made therein, this Court does not find it appropriate to hold the contemnors guilty in this case. Therefore, this contempt proceeding is dropped and the contempt matter is disposed of. Pradeep/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
