IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.76 of 2009 SUO MOTU CONTEMPT AGAINST THE VICE-CHANCELLOR & REGISTRAR OF THE VEER KUNWAR SINGH UNIVERSITY ----------- 8. 10.07.2009 Three more cases of the Veer Kunwar Singh University relating to post retiral and other dues of the employees, including the connected writ application, were listed on 17.09.2008 and the order passed by this Court on 31.7.2008 was directed to govern these three cases also. Direction issued therein was treated to have been issued in these cases also. The petitioner of this case superannuated with effect from 31.1.2001 from the post of University Professor and has raised grievance in the writ application of non-payment of his due amount of leave encashment of total 180 days. Counter affidavit and show cause have been filed by the University authorities. In view of the very limited prayer made by the petitioner in the writ application in respect of payment of leave encashment amount only to the extent of total 180 days, this Court does not find that non-compliance of the - 2 - directions issued by this Court by the common order dated 31.7.2008 be taken as contempt in this particular case. No reply to the counter affidavit or show cause has been filed by the petitioner nor any detail has been given as to in what manner his claim for leave encashment of 180 days has not been considered when the show cause and the counter affidavit of the University authorities show that all other entitlements of the petitioner have been considered by them and payments have been made. In the circumstances, this Court does not find that any case of contempt is made out in view of the very limited claim made by the petitioner in the writ application and, therefore, show cause is accepted and the contempt proceeding is dropped.
