The petitioner, who retired with effect from 31.10.1999 as University Professor, Department of Botany from T.N.B. College, Bhagalpur under Tilkamanjhi Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur, has prayed for directing the Respondents for payment of his retiral dues. In this case, number of affidavits have been filed by the parties. Along with 5th counter affidavit filed on behalf of the Respondent/ University, the University has brought on record an order dated 14.2.2009 passed by the Registrar of the University as Annexure- D to the counter affidavit. Learned counsel for the University, while referring to Annexure- D to the 5th counter affidavit, submits that almost all the retiral dues of the petitioner were paid before passing of order by the Registrar of the University. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Annexure-D to the 5th counter affidavit makes it clear that an amount of Rs.4, 30,614/- was outstanding under the head of difference of salary on the date of 2 passing of the order by the Registrar of the University. However, neither learned counsel for the petitioner nor learned counsel for the University is in position to inform the Court as to whether the said amount has been paid or not till date. In view of the fact that almost all the grievances of the petitioner relating to retiral dues have already been redressed, there is no need to keep the matter further pending. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. While disposing it of, it is desirable to direct the Respondents, particularly Respondent no.2 / Vice- Chancellor, Tilkamanjhi Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur to take all steps for payment of amount of difference of salary to the tune of Rs.4, 30,614/-, as indicated in Annexure-D to the 5th counter affidavit within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, if the same has not been paid till date. With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J. )
