IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9548 of 2005 RAM CHARITAR RAI Versus THE V.C.,L.N.MITHILA UNIVERSITY & ORS ----------- 05/ 21-08-2008 Pursuant to order dated 24.7.2008 a counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the University. In the counter affidavit it is stated that an amount of Rs.63,217/- has been released in favour of the petitioner towards arrears of his salary. However, as per petitioner’s calculation an amount of Rs.64,517/- was due and there is short payment of Rs.1,300/-. Since calculation has not been furnished with the counter affidavit, it is not possible to ascertain as to whether the petitioner was entitled to remaining amount of Rs.1,300/- or not. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the payment has been made to the petitioner at the old rate of D.A. but petitioner is entitled for payment under the new rate of D.A. as applicable from time to time. In the circumstances, this application is disposed of with liberty to 2 the petitioner to file a specific representation before the Registrar of the University, who shall examine the matter and if he finds that some more amount is due to the petitioner, he shall issue specific orders for release of the same. It is expected that the Registrar of the University shall pass speaking order in this regard within two months from the date of filing of such representation. With observations/directions aforesaid this writ application is disposed of. A.H./ ( J. N. Singh , J. )
