IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2119 of 2009 NAGESHWAR JHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 12.2.2009 Heard Mr. B.P.Pandey learned Senior counsel for the petitioner as also the counsel for the University and the State. In this writ application, the grievance of the petitioner with regard to certain post retirement benefit as also some reduction in the pension in the month of August, 2005 in fact is the subject matter of a pending representation before the Vice Chancellor of the University being Annexure 6 to the writ application. This Court for the moment would not like to adjudicate the issue involved herein for a simple reason that as the petitioner has already approached claiming certain right by filing a representation it would be the duty of the University to examine the same and take a final decision in the matter. That being so, this Court would direct the Vice Chancellor of Bhagalpur University to take a firm and final decision within a period of three months 2 from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. In the event it is found by the Vice Chancellor that the petitioner is also entitled to certain admitted payment of retirement benefit as claimed by him in the representation, she must pass an order for its payment to the petitioner within next six weeks of passing of such order. Let it be recorded that this Court has not gone into the merits of the case of the petitioner and therefore, whatever decision has to be taken by the Vice Chancellor must be taken strictly in accordance with the retirement statutes and the facts of the case of the petitioner. If any part of the claim of the petitioner is rejected, the Vice Chancellor will be obliged to give reasons for the same. This application, accordingly, stands disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.)
