Within the said period the University shall ensure payment of all lawful and admitted dues to the petitioner, failing which the University will be liable to pay interest and cost on all dues of the petitioner pending before the University. It is made clear that paucity of fund shall not be accepted as excuse for non- payment of dues of the petitioner 2 by the University, as till today it has not been shown that the University has calculated and sent a requisition to the State Government in respect of this particular petitioner for payment of his dues.” However, today learned counsel for the University submits that in view of general directions in the batch of cases of L.N. Mithila University, the authorities are preparing details of respective petitioners, making calculations of their admitted dues under different heads and taking steps for payment of the dues to the petitioner. He submits that writ application may be disposed of directing the respondents to release payment of all admitted dues to the petitioner within two months as the University accepts that funds will be received from the State Government within a month. In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the University to make payment of all 3 admitted dues to the petitioner under different heads within two months and also furnish him details of calculations made by the University under different heads for release of amount headwise. It is made clear that in case payment of all admitted dues is not released in favour of the petitioner along with detailed calculations chart as aforesaid the Registrar of the University shall be personally liable to pay interest at the rate of 18 percent quarterly compoundable from his own salary along with the principal amount as and when the same is paid.
