W.P.(S) No.5355 of 2010
Prof.. Man Mohan Jha...................................................Petitioner
VERSUS
Vice-Chancellor, Ranchi University and others.......... Respondents
CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.R.PRASAD
For the Petitioner : Mr. Abhay Kumar Sinha 'Kundan'
For the Respondents :Mr Anoop Kumar Mehta
6/ 15.7.11
. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned counsel
appearing for the respondents.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that Professor
Krishna Mohan Jha, Department of Philosophy, Ranchi University got retired on
31.1.1998. He put forth his claim of the retiral benefit at several occasions before the
authority of the University but nothing was done in this respect and ultimately, he
died on 5.8.2008. Since retiral benefit could not be paid to the deceased employee,
the petitioner, being brother of the deceased employee after getting no objection
from his other brothers, has filed this writ application wherein prayer has been made
to direct the authority to pay death-cum-retiral benefit to the petitioner.
Having heard learned counsel appearing for the parties, it does appear
that claim of death-cum-retiral benefit which was admissible to late Professor Krishna
Mohan Jha has still not been decided, this writ application is disposed of with a
direction to the petitioner to file a fresh representation raising all his claims which
have been raised in this writ application along with a copy of this order before the
Registrar, Ranchi University, Ranchi, respondent no.4 within a period of three weeks
from today and on getting such representation, the respondent no.4 shall be taking
decision in the matter of payment of death-cum-retiral benefit within a period of eight
weeks thereafter so that the same be paid to the person who is legally entitled to get
the amount.
