IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11315 of 2010 1. SUSHIL KUMAR DUBEY S/O HARENDRA PRASAD DUBEY R/O MOHALLA- LALBAGH TILKAMANJHI, P.S.- TILKAMANJHI, TOWN & DISTT.- BHAGALPUR 2. VISHWANATH RAI S/O LATE RAM BRIKSH RAI R/O VILL.- BHARAULI, P.S.- NARHI, DISTT.- BALLIA (U.P.) Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE SECRETARY DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE VICE-CHANCELLOR, TILKAMANJHI BHAGALPUR UNIVERSITY, BHAGALPUR 3. THE REGISTRAR, TILKAMANJHI BHAGALPUR UNIVERSITY, BHAGALPUR 4. THE PROFESSOR IN-CHARGE, T.B.B. LAW COLLEGE, BHAGALPUR ----------- 2 16/03/2011 Both the petitioners are retired teachers of T.B.B. Law College, Bhagalpur. They have been claiming arrears of revised salary under U.G.C. scale but the University has failed to grant them this benefit for so many years. After having failed to get the relief from the respondents, this writ application has been filed. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that atleast two other employees, namely, Gopal Bhushan Prasad and Rajesh Sahay who approached the High Court and a direction having been issued, they have been paid their arrears which were rightfully due to them. But since there is no order of the kind by the High Court - 2 - in favour of the petitioners, they have refused to entertain the claim or representation made by them before the respondent University which was received on 9.1.2010. Learned counsel for the petitioners produces the relevant order passed by the High Court on 16.07.2009 in C.W.J.C. No. 10250 of 2006 in which direction in the case of Gopal Bhushan Prasad and Rajesh Sahai has been issued in identical circumstance. Learned counsel for Tilkamanjhi Bhagalpur University after perusing the writ application as well as order passed by the High Court in the case of Gopal Bhushan Prasad does agree that there is similar claim so far as the present petitioners are concerned. In view of the above, this writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the respondent University that arrears of salary of the petitioners would be paid to them within a period of three months from the date of production or communication of a copy of this order because for payment of arrears of U.G.C. scale funds have been released from time to time by the State Government and there is no apparent reason for these two petitioners having not been paid their rightful dues. - 3 - This writ application is disposed of with the direction aforesaid.
