College, Patna. ----------- 09 10.02.2010 Heard Mr. Suresh Prasad Sinha learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, learned counsel for the University and Mr. Pratish Kumar A.C. to S.C. 11 counsel for the State. Admitted position is that the entire retiral dues as admissible to the petitioner has been paid to him during the pendency of the proceeding. The position is not disputed by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner who however raises a claim for payment of interest on belated disbursement of pension and gratuity. Learned counsel for the University 2 however opposes the claim of the petitioner and also submits that admitted position is that the University was going through financial crisis and the payment of the retiral dues of the petitioner and like other persons were dependent upon the release of the fund by the state Government. He submits that no sooner the funds were available to the University the same were disbursed and thus it is not a case of a deliberate delay by the University. Although learned counsel makes a prayer for payment of interest on the belated disbursement of the retiral claims but I find no such prayer made in the writ petition. In such circumstances the writ petition is disposed of as having become infructuous. Bibhash (Jyoti Saran, J. )
