Versus 1. The Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University, Kameshwar Nagar, Darbhanga, through its Registrar. 2. The Vice-Chancellor, Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University, Kameshwar Nagar, Darbhanga. 3. The Registrar, Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University, Kameshwar Nagar, Darbhanga. 4. The Chancellor of the Universities, Raj Bhawan, Patna, Bihar. ----------- 2/ 05.10.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner, counsel appearing for the Chancellor of the Universities and counsel appearing for the Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University, Darbhanga. Petitioner’s grievance is that he was appointed on the post of Lecturer (Sociology) in Goswami Lakshmi Nath Madusudan Sanskrit College, Bangaon, Saharsa after his name was recommended for appointment by the governing body of the college. The post was advertised on 15.12.1997. The petitioner had applied for the post. He faced the interview and finally he got the appointment letter dated 07.01.1998 and joined the post on 08.01.1998. Since the date of appointment he has not been paid his salary though the Secretary of the college has requested the Registrar of the University to approve the services of the petitioner. The 2 Registrar has issued letter on 10.06.1998. Subsequently also the Secretary of the college had sent a letter to the Bihar College Service Commission with a request to approve the services of the petitioner. Petitioner himself has filed several representations before the respondents for approval of the services and payment of salary but till date it has not been done. Considering the fact that appointment of the petitioner was made observing all legal formalities and the Secretary of the college also sent request letter time and again for approval of petitioner’s appointment, but till date it has not been done. There is no reason to keep the approval matter pending for long time when appointment was made in the year 1998 and since then requests are being made. The matter has remained pending for several long years. This matter is being disposed of directing the Vice- chancellor of the university and the Registrar of Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University, Kameshwar Nagar, Darbhanga to take necessary decisions within two months from the date of production/communication of this order. The necessary orders for approval of petitioner’s appointment should be issued within this period and the 3 Principal of the college thereafter is directed to make payment of salary to the petitioner for which he is entitled after being appointed and discharging his duties for such a long time.
