10/ 24.09.2010 1. Heard learned counsel for respondent nos. 2 to 5.
2. The claim of the petitioners with regard to arrears
as well as time bound promotion is practically admitted by the
University and its authorities, including the principal of the
concerned college.
3. Learned counsel for the said University
(respondent nos. 2 to 5) submits that if a direction is given to
the University for time bound promotion, the University will
expedite the matter. However, with regard to arrears of salary of
the petitioners, learned counsel for respondent nos. 2 to 5
submits that there is no hitch in the payment of the arrears to
the petitioners as per the list provided by the University dated
20.12.2004 (Annexure-D) except that the Government has to
release such fund to the University to be paid to the petitioners
and similarly situated other teacher.
4. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, learned
counsel for the State of Bihar (respondent no1) prays for
sometime for seeking instructions and filing a counter affidavit.
Much time has lapsed and such an affidavit should have been
filed by the State Government earlier. However, considering
the entire facts and circumstances of the case, put up this case
on 08th of October, 2010 under the same heading retaining its
-2-
position, but by that time the counter affidavit must be filed by
respondent no.1.
