VEER KUNWAR SINGH UNIVERSITY through Vice Chancellor Veer Kunwar Singh University, Ara, Bhojpur. 2. Vice Chancellor, Veer Kunwar Singh University, Ara, Bhojpur. 3. The Registrar, Veer Kunwar Singh University, Ara, Bhojpur. 4. The Principal, S.P. Jain College Sasaram, Rohtas. ----------- 5 10.03.2010 Heard Mr. Rajiv Ranjan, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Ms. Sujata Mukherjee, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent. The writ petition was filed for payment of the post retiral benefits of the petitioner who superannuated from the post of University Professor with effect from 31.1.1999. Upon non payment of his post retiral benefits, the present writ petition came to be filed setting out a claim for payment of Rs. 6,72,492.69/- against the various heads set out in paragraph 6 of the writ petition. The grievance of the petitioner upon 2 being considered, the University filed a counter affidavit on 17.8.2006 enclosing a letter dated 11.8.2006 (Annexure-A) addressed to the Principal of the S.P. Jain College, Sasaram (Rohtas) in which each item of entitlements together with admissible amounts have been set out and according to which the petitioner was found entitled to a payment of Rs. 6,41,944/-. A counter affidavit has also been filed on behalf of the respondent No. 4, the Principal of the S.P. Jain College, Sasaram (Rohtas) and who enclosing a statement of claims placed at Annexure-A to the said counter affidavit has mentioned that as against the statement provided by the University showing admissible claims of the petitioner to the tune of Rs. 6,41,944/-, the said claims upon verification was only found to the extent of Rs. 4,63,574/-. It is stated that the said amount has been paid to the petitioner vide cheque dated 21.9.2006. A rejoinder has been filed on behalf of the petitioner disputing the calculation made by the Principal and mentioning therein that there was no occasion for the Principal for 3 having reduced the quantum of admissible claims without assigning any reasons. He submits that the petitioner having rendered almost 30 years of University service, could not be entitled to a meager sum of Rs. 38,079/- towards his provident fund entitlement. The petitioner also disputes the reduction of admissible claims in relation to the other heads as set out in Annexure-5 to the rejoinder. Having considered the rival contentions and upon perusal of the materials available on record of the proceedings, I am of the opinion that no useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending before the Court and the same is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to set out his claim with calculative details before the respondent No.4, the Principal, S.P. Jain College, Sasaram (Rohtas)and who shall examine the claim set out by the petitioner and dispose of the same in accordance with law within a period of three months from receipt of any such representation and if the petitioner is found entitled to any further sum against any of the heads, the same should be paid to him within the said period. 4 Needless to add that any such claim that is not found admissible should be disposed of by speaking order. The writ petition is disposed of. Bibhash (Jyoti Saran, J. )
