It goes without saying that if the petitioner submits his claim in form of a representation alongwith a copy of this order the same shall be disposed of by a speaking order so that the petitioner can know the reasons for non-payment of any amount as claimed by him. It goes without saying that the amount payable as found by the University also must be paid in next three months. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of.
