IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11841 of 2010 1. DR. DINESHWAR NARAIN SHARMA S/O LATE RAJ NARAIN SHARMA R/O MOHALLA- MAJHAULIA ROAD, P.S.- KAZI MOHAMMADPUR, DISTT.- MUZAFFARPUR Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE COMMISSIONER-CUM-SECRETARY, HIGHER EDUCATION BIHAR, PATNA 3. B.R.A. BIHAR UNIVERSITY THROUGH ITS REGISTRAR, MUZAFFARPUR 4. THE VICE-CHANCELLOR, B.R.A. BIHAR UNIVERSITY, MUZAFFARPUR 5. THE REGISTRAR, B.R.A. BIHAR UNIVERSITY, MUZAFFARPUR ----------- 02. 23.3.2011 Petitioner is a retired teacher who was working in Shree Raghava Prasad Singh College, Jaintpur, in the district of Muzaffarpur, which is a constituent unit of B R A Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. Petitioner has approached the Finance Officer as well as the Registrar of the University to pay to him the arrears of his claim arising out of difference in pay-scale of UGC for sever periods which has not been paid. He chose to file the present writ application. No counter affidavit on behalf of the University has been filed which would indicate their position or their stand on the issue. There is material to show that the arrears have been worked out and the Principal has certified the claim in favour of the petitioner. However, for reasons best known to the University the necessary direction for payments is not being issued. The writ application is disposed of with a clear 2 direction upon the Registrar that taking cognizance of the claim of the petitioner he will get the accounts verified and audited and thereafter authorize payment to the petitioner which is not in dispute. This must be done within a period of three months form the date of production/communication of a copy of this order. If any part of the claim is otherwise found untenable, a speaking order will be passed and duly communicated to the petitioner within the same time frame. Failure to do so may entail suitable action against the Registrar or other University authorities since it is an old dispute and claim. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
