IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.691 of 2009 SUO MOTU CONTEMPT AGAINST VICE CHANCELLOR & REGISTRAR, L.N. MITHILA UNIVERSITY ------- 4. 25/06/2010 Petitioner has filed the connected writ application (C.W.J.C.No.8208 of 2008) for a direction to the respondent University to pay gratuity amount of Rs.1,97,323/-, earned leave amount and enhanced earned leave amount, arrears of salary amounting to Rs.3,55,945.90/-, the arrears of difference of pay in the U.G.C. scale amounting to Rs.4,55,513/- and the interest over the due amount. This Court, in a batch of cases, including the connected writ application, 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 Vice-Chancellor & Registrar of - 2 - the University on 27.1.2010 in the writ application itself. Along with the show cause, a calculation chart of the dues of the petitioner including a cheque for Rs.3,61,833/-in the name of the petitioner has been annexed as Annexure-A series. 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 matter is disposed of. Pradeep/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
