By order dated 7.11.2006, this Court had directed that the Bhagalpur University should pay all the retiral dues and other dues to the petitioner. Subsequently, it is admitted by the petitioner that all the dues have been paid to the petitioner on 3.8.2008 except the leave - 2 - encashment for which the petitioner would be entitled to, as a result of roster duty. It has been stated on behalf of the University that the matter has been referred to the Hon’ble Chancellor for consideration and for passing of an appropriate order. It is expected that the Chancellor will dispose of the application of the petitioner and thereafter the University will pay the leave encashment due to the petitioner within the reasonable time. In view of the statements made by the counsel for the petitioner, the writ application and the contempt application are disposed of with the direction that the University should pay a cost of litigation of Rs.2000/-to the petitioner in C.W.J.C.No.7772 of 2005 for the delay caused in making payment of the rightful dues of the petitioner.
