Learned counsel appearing for both the Universities 2 submits that the issue with respect to payment of compound interest at the rate of 12.5% over the amount of group insurance is sub judice before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Considering the above, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for expeditious disposal of the claims against the respective Universities i.e., J.P. University and the B.R.A. Bihar University, the petitioner proposes to put his claim by way of separate representation before the Registrar of B.R.A. Bihar University (respondent no.4) and the Registrar of J.P. University (respondent no.7). In case such separate representations are filed with regard to the respective claims stating distinctly the details of his unpaid claims as also enclosing the copy of the relevant documents, if any, in support of such claims along with the certified copy of the present order within a period of four weeks, the representations of the petitioner shall be considered in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of four months on receipt of such representations, so that the grievances of the petitioner may be settled and the admitted dues, if any, may also be paid. However, upon consideration, if any of the claims or part of the claims is not being paid, the same shall be informed to the petitioner with the reasons thereof. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observations/directions. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
