IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3050 of 2009 DR.BALESHWAR OJHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 6/3/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner, counsel for the University as also counsel for the State. Grievance of the petitioner in this writ application is confined to merger of 50% D.A and the resultant consequential benefit. Petitioner relies on the judgment of this Court wherein it has been held that the University employees are also entitled for such benefit. It has also been stated in the writ application that the petitioner has also filed his representation on 24.11.2008, but no decision thereon has been taken by the University till date. Once position in law has been settled by this Court and it has been held that the University teachers are entitled for such benefit and consequential benefit, it is expected that the University will take its own decision and implement for all the teachers. 2 Be that as it may, since the matter is pending consideration before the University, this Court would direct the petitioner to file a fresh representation giving full details of his claim within a period of four weeks, whereafter the Vice Chancellor of the University must take decision within a period of three months and in the event the petitioner is found entitled for such payment the same also be paid to him in the next three months. Counsel for the State is also directed to ensure that necessary fund for the same is released to the University if not already released for this purpose. With the aforementioned observation and direction this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) Abhay Kumar
