Bhojpur. -------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar through the Secretary, Department of Higher Education, Government of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 2. The Magadh University through the Registrar, Bodh Gaya, Dist. Gaya. 3. The Vice Chancellor, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya, Dist. Gaya. 4. The Vir Kunwar Singh University through the Registrar, Ara. 5. The Vice Chancellor, Vir Kunwar Singh University, Ara. ---------- Respondents ----------- 2 02.09.2011 In view of the fact that neither the respondents State of Bihar nor the authorities of Vir Kunwar Singh University have answered the solitary question as with regard to the alleged anomaly in the pay fixation of the petitioner, this Court would direct the Vice Chancellor of the Vir Kunwar Singh University to consider the grievance of the petitioner as raised in Annexure-7/1 to this writ application, the representation of the petitioner dated 20.1.2007, within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It is, however, made clear that any order of fixation of salary in the revised pay-scale would be made only after obtaining the prior approval of the Director, Higher Education, inasmuch as, the issue which 2 requires to be gone into is as to whether the petitioner would be entitled for the revised salary of the post of Assistant Librarian in terms of the decision of the State Government. It will be, however, open for the petitioner to file a self-contained representation addressed to the Registrar of the University, which shall also be taken into consideration for the ventilation of the aforesaid grievance of the petitioner. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
