IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1272 of 2008 DHIRENDRA KUMAR THAKUR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4 6.10.2009 As directed by this Court the Registrar, B.N.Mandal University is personally present. In the show cause filed by him, it is stated that the entire amount including interest has been paid to the petitioner and nothing more remains to be paid. Learned counsel for the petitioner disputes the same and says that direction was to pay 5 % interest from the due date but the same has not been done; if the amount of Rs 68,200/- was due for a period exceeding 5 years 9 months then the interest would be many times more than the amount of Rs 3410/- paid as interest. There appears to be substance in the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner also disputes the statement made in paragraph 12 of the show cause regarding payment of excess amount of Rs 30,908/- to the petitioner. In the above circumstances, this contempt application is disposed of with a direction to the University to re-calculate the interest in terms of the order under contempt and pay the difference to the petitioner. It is further directed that the claim regarding excess payment shall be reconsidered by the University in the light of the representation to be filed by the petitioner within two weeks from today and the same should be disposed of by a speaking order within a period of six weeks thereafter. On a consideration of the same, if any - 2 - amount is found recoverable from the petitioner, the interest amount shall be adjusted against the same. Let a copy of this order be handed over to Mr Naresh Dixit, learned counsel for the University. shahid (Ramesh Kumar Datta, J)
