University and Learned counsel for the B.R.A. Bihar University. From the counter affidavit filed on their behalf and the rejoinder of the petitioner there are very limited issues which need to be ironed out with regard to post retiral dues and salary matter. Affidavit of the B.R.A. Bihar University categorically states that a sum of Rs.35,510/- is payable to the original petitioner i.e. the difference in salary. The original petitioner is already dead and he has been substituted by his legal heirs vide order dated 25.11.2008. In this view of the matter, the Registrar, B.R.A. Bihar University is hereby directed now to take steps for payment of this amount in favour of the legal heirs within a period of three months from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. - 2 - Coming to the payments relating to the J.P.University, even according to the petitioners, the issues are non-payment of group insurance, arrears of the interim relief and difference of dearness allowance and revised pay-scale with effect from 1.1.1996 to 1.4.2001. Learned counsel for the J.P.University submits that the dues of group insurance already stands paid as stated in the counter affidavit. The difference and calculation of compound interest is an issue pending before the Apex Court. This payment would be made to the petitioner along with other employees subject to the final decision, if it accrues to their benefit. So far as interim relief is concerned, the Court has already directed earlier giving liberty to the petitioner to provide details and furnish proof of the same. Petitioners are directed to do the same and the University authorities would thereafter examine the claim and settle the dues at the earliest. With regard to payment of revised pay-scale with effect from 1.1.1996 to 1.4.2001, since these payments have already started and has also been made in favour of other employees the University shall ensure payment of this difference to the petitioner preferably within a period of three months from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. In case the fund not been made available to the University request to the State Government should be made and the State Government will do the needful at the earliest. The writ application stands disposed of. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
