                                 -----------

05 20.09.2010 It is unfortunate that inspite of adjournments granted by

this Court for a simple matter of accounting, which involves no legal

issue, the State and the University are not in a position to assist this

Court for whatever reasons there may be. Teachers and employees

have worked for several years and their hard earned money is being

withheld by the State Government and the University. The only reason

for this is that the State Government and the University is unable to

put its house in order, the sufferers are the employees, who are not at

fault, their only fault was joining the University. State and the

University want to await the luxury of litigation. Let them have their

say. I am adjourning all these matters once again to enable the

University and the State to furnish detail accounts understandable by a

common person and make payments accordingly. I am directing that

any payment that is found due to be paid henceforth to any employee
-2-

would be paid with delayed interest of at least 12% per annum from

the date it was due till the date it is paid. The said interest amount

would be borne by the State because it has failed to ensure timely

payment. Those interests payment would also be paid alongwith the

principal payment without demur.

As prayed by the respondents, put up this case on 4th of

October, 2010
