IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9460 of 2003 BRAHMANAND JHA 'SUMAN' son of late Kinkar Jha, resident of village- Ram Patti, P.S. Singheshwar Asthan, District- Madhepura… Petitioner. Versus 1. B.N.MANDAL UNIVERSITY, Lalu Nagar, Madhepura, through its Registrar. 2. The Vice Chancellor of B. N. Mandal University, Lalu Nagar, Madhepura. 3. The Registrar of B. N. Mandal University, Lalu Nagar, Madhepura. 4. The Finance Officer, B. N. Mandal University, Lalu Nagar, Madhepura. … Respondents. ----------- 3. 28.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Though the prayer in this writ petition reads as follows; “1. that this writ application is being filed for payment of arrears of revised U.G.C. scale to the petitioner with effect from 1.1.1996 with compound interest within a time limit fixed by this Hon’ble Court.” learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the claim of the petitioner in fact is for payment of revised UGC pay scale for the period 1.1.1986 onwards. If that is so, this writ petition is wholly belated but then as the petitioner’s claim continues till the date of his retirement on 31.3.2001 this Court would direct only the respondents to consider the grievance of the petitioner and also take a final decision with regard to payment of such 2 amount which has already been released to other employees and include the name of the petitioner in the priority list for balance payment as and when the same is paid to the other teachers. Such exercise must be completed within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this writ petition is disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
