College, Donwarihat, Khutauna, P.S. Khutauna, District Madhubani. ----------- 3 26.7.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the Lalit Narayan MIthila University is present. Prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “For a direction’s to Respondents to make payment of 1,73,050.00 (Rupees lac, seventy three thousand and fifty only) which is admitted dues of the petitioner.” From the documents on record it would appear that the principal of the College vide his letter dated 30.7.2002 had forwarded the aforementioned details with regard to claim of the petitioner pertaining to salary and other emoluments from June, 1996 to March, 2002 disclosing Rs. 1,73, 050-00 to be the admissible dues of the petitioner payable by the University. The respondent-University has however not filed any counter affidavit and therefore it is very difficult for this Court to understand the reason for non payment of claimed amount of the 2 petitioner in this writ application. In that view of the matter, this Court would only give liberty to the petitioner to approach the Registrar of the University, who must decide such claim of the petitioner within a period of six months from the date of filing of the representation by the petitioner along with a copy of this order. Let it be made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of claim of the petitioner and therefore it will be open for the University to pass an order strictly in accordance with law. If, however, on the basis of such scrutiny of claim of the petitioner any amount is found payable, payment thereof also must be extended to him within the next three months. With the aforementioned observations/directions this application is disposed of. Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
