IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13954 of 2004 BISHWANATH KESHARI S/O LATE BADRINARAYAN KESHARI AT PRESENT R/O CHINI MILL COLONY AT & PO- BUXAR PS & DISTT- BUXAR------ PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH COMMISSIONER-CUM-SECRETARY, HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, PATNA 2. T.M. BHAGALPUR UNIVERSITY, BHAGALPUR 3. VICE CHANCELLOR, T.M. BHAGALPUR UNIVERSITY 4. PRINCIPAL, T.N.B. COLLEGE BHAGALPUR--- RESPONDENTS ----------- 7 22.1.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute that during the pendency of the writ application the respondents have paid all the dues retiral or otherwise but she has serious grievance that though the petitioner retired in 2002 it has taken five years for the respondents to pay the dues which legitimately belong to the petitioner and ought to have been paid in the year, 2002. The Court does not want to pass any order on this head. Liberty is granted to the petitioner to demonstrate before the University authority that delay in payment was because of laches on their part and not on the part of the petitioner. If such a case is made out then the University authority may consider grant of interest. This writ application stands disposed of with the above liberty. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
