IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8721 of 2005 DR.RAMENDRA NATH TRIVEDI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4. 17.9.2008 In this writ application filed on 22.7.2005 the petitioner has made prayer for the following reliefs: “(i)For the payment of the salary of the petitioner for the month of January 2000 and for the period 5.2.92 to 12.5.93 which is wrongly withheld by the respondent/ University. (ii)For the fixation of salary on the basis of UGC pay scale. (iii)For the grant of other relief/reliefs to which the petitioner is found entitled to.” It would appear that the writ application claiming payment of salary for the period 5.2.1992 to 12.5.1993, filed after 13 years of cause of action was plainly not maintainable. That being so, this Court would not find any reason to allow that portion of the prayer. The next prayer is with regard to payment of salary with regard to the month 2 Surendra/ claimed after a period of more than 5 ½ years and accordingly, that also cannot be allowed on account of its being wholly belated and that too without any explanation for the same. As with regard to fixation of salary on the basis of UGC pay scale, this Court would find that the petitioner had moved this Court in C.W.J.C.No. 11533/2001 earlier for the same relief which was disposed of by an order dated 5.9.2001 and thereby when the said order was allegedly not complied the petitioner had also filed contempt application being M.J.C.No. 31/2002 which was also disposed of on 20.7.2004. It would thus be apparent that the grievance of U.G.C. pay scale of the petitioner has already been adjudicated and therefore, this writ application is also not maintainable for the same cause of action for which earlier a writ application has already been disposed of. This writ application being thus wholly misconceived is accordingly, dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) 3
