SRI DAYA KANT MISHRA, THE FINANCE OFFICER JAI PRAKASH UNIVERSITY, CHAPRA, DISTT.- CHAPRA ----------- 4/ 06/04/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, for the Jay Prakash University (hereinafter referred to as J.P. University) and for the Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University (hereinafter referred to as Bihar University). Learned counsel for the petitioners fairly submits that some dues have been paid by the J.P. University. He however contends that it is not full payment as also that the payment has not been made in the correct scale of Reader. In view of the nature of the order on the writ petition the Court finds it difficult to adjudicate this issue in the contempt jurisdiction. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the fixation of the pay-scale and consequent payment of arrears, his remedy lies in a fresh writ application only. It is next contended on behalf of the petitioner that the dues pertaining to the period in the jurisdiction of the Bihar University has not been transferred to the J.P. University because of which it has not been paid. Submissions and counter submissions have been made on behalf of J.P. University and the Bihar University. 3 The Court is not concerned with their administrative issues. The claims of the petitioner have not been denied. The Court cannot act as a super administrator of the two Universities. The administrative aspect of coordination between the two Universities pertains exclusively to the domain of administration. The Court therefore observes, expects and holds the fond hope that the Vice Chancellors of the two Universities shall rise to the occasion and ensure that their subordinates perform their administrative duties in accordance with law so that the arrears of the petitioner, whether it be the issue of transmission of funds from the Bihar University to the J.P. University or that the funds had already been transferred and payment to be made by the J.P. University, shall together by both the Vice Chancellors be ensured for compliance within a maximum period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before the two Vice Chancellors. If the petitioner be aggrieved by the quantum of payment so made thereafter, his remedy shall lie in a fresh writ application. The contempt applications stand disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
