Heard Mr. Purushottam Kumar Jha, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.Anil Singh learned counsel for respondent nos.1 to 5 i.e. T.M.Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur as well as learned A.C. to S.C.-III appearing for the State. The petitioner, who retired as University Professor, Department of Chemistry, J.R.S.College, Jamalpur with effect from 31.1.2003, has prayed to declare that he is entitled to get his pension revised in view of Article 16 of the Pension Statute read with the State Government decision as contained in Resolution No.820 dated 23.9.2009 and other consequential benefits. Mr. Anil Singh, learned counsel for the respondent- University has raised a preliminary objection on the point of maintainability of the writ petition. It was submitted that the 2 petitioner has already approached this court by filing a writ petition vide C.W.J.C. No.13961 of 2008 for his retiral dues and, according to Mr. Singh, since one writ petition is already pending, the petitioner may not be allowed to maintain second writ petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had earlier filed a writ petition for payment of retiral dues but in the said writ petition no relief has been prayed, which has been prayed in the present writ petition. In view of the stand taken by learned counsel for the petitioner, the court is of the opinion that the preliminary objection raised by Mr. Singh, learned counsel appearing for the university, is not sustainable. So far as entitlement of revised pension in view of the government resolution dated 23.9.2009 is concerned, in numbers of cases it has been held that the university professors are entitled for the same relief. Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance on annexure-3 to the petition which is a copy of the order dated 3.12.2010 passed by this court in C.W.J.C. No.3616 of 2010 (Dr.Himanshu Bhushan Vs. the T.M.Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur, through its Registrar & Ors.) and other analogus writ petitions. The writ petition stands allowed in terms of the order dated 3.12.2010 passed in C.W.J.C. No.3616 of 2010. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
