Respondents. ------------- 12. 14.7.2010 Heard Mr. Ram Chandra Prasad for the petitioner, Mr. Rajesh Kumar Verma, learned Assistant Counsel to Standing Counsel No.11 for respondent no.1, and Mr. Ajay Bihari Sinha for respondent nos. 2 to 4. This writ petition was originally preferred by Bisheshwar Prasad Sinha who had superannuated from the services of the B.R. Ambedkar Bihar University on 31.12.2002, from M.J.K. College, Bettiah, while functioning as University Professor. Originally the petitioner preferred this writ petition for a direction to the respondent authorities to make payment of 2 his post-retirement benefits admissible to him. He died during the pendency of the present proceedings and has been substituted by his widow and children. By order dated 2.4.2010, the Registrar of the University was directed to make payment of entire lawful dues admissible to the late employee, and payable to his wife in the capacity of his widow along with interest at he rate of 11% from the date the unpaid amount(s) became due till the date of payment along with costs of Rs.25,000/-. The University challenged this order by preferring L.P.A. No. 865 of 2010, which was allowed in part by order dated 11.5.2010, whereby rate of interest was reduced to 7.5%, and costs was reduced to Rs.5,000/-. After disposal of the appeal, the University took steps for payment of the dues, interest, and costs. They have placed on record their reply to the rejoinder filed on behalf of the petitioner sworn by the Registrar of the University on 15.6.2010. The details of calculation have been stated in the various charts annexed to the same. It was found that petitioner no.1, the widow, is entitled to a sum of Rs.3,96,100/- exclusive of interest and cost and have been paid to her by demand draft of the said amount, dated 3 12.5.2010, in favour of Smt. Yamuna Devi, the widow. The petitioners have filed rejoinder to the same. On a consideration of the materials on record, we are of the view that the entire lawful dues of the petitioner along with interest and costs have been paid to the petitioner, and nothing survives for consideration. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar, J. )
