Sri Raj Kishore Prasad Sinha, S/O name not known to the petitioner, Finance Officer, B.R.Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur ------------------------------- Respondents. ----------- 04 28-03-2011 Heard Sri Tara Nath Jha, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Ajay Bihari Sinha, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Respondent nos. 1 to 4 / B.R.Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. The petitioner, who retired with effect from 31.08.2003 as Principal from S.R.K.G. College, Sitamarhi under B.R.Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur, has prayed for directing the Respondents to make payment of all the retiral dues. The present writ petition was filed on 12.08.2006, after serving a copy on learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondents/ B.R.A. Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. Thereafter on 11.9.2006 the case was adjourned for three weeks. It was observed that in the meantime, counter affidavit, if any, be filed. However, no counter affidavit was filed for a long time. Recently, on 25.3.2011 a cryptic and vague counter affidavit has been filed with several “ifs and buts”. It is necessary to quote statement made in 2 paragraph no. 6 of the counter affidavit, which is as follows: “That the deponent states that after collecting those papers the University will sent the entire left over claims of the petitioner to the auditors within two weeks from today and as soon as the claims of the petitioner are sent back to the University after being checked by the auditors payment of the admitted dues will be made within four weeks from the date of receipt of the claims.” It is not in dispute that the petitioner retired in the year 2003 and he was entitled to get all the retiral dues. Sri Ajay Bihari Sinha, learned counsel appearing on behalf of B.R.Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur, submits that the University is taking all steps to clear all the admissible dues of its employees. The writ petition stands allowed with direction to the respondents, particularly, respondent no. 2/Vice Chancellor, B.R.A. Bihar University, Muzaffarpur, to take all steps to clear all the retiral dues of the petitioner with statutory admissible interest within a period of two months from the date of receipt / production of a copy of this order. The petition stands allowed with above direction. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
