                           THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS
                                     -----------

5 4.10.2010 It is a matter of shame that the petitioners in these

four writ petitions had to move this Court for arrears of their

salary, which were due since 1986.The Vice Chancellor, the

Registrar and the Finance Officer all remain oblivious of the

liability of the University towards its employees for reasons

which this Court cannot record. The petitioners had come to this

Court for this clerical work and because of inaction on the part

of the statutory authorities there is wastage this Court’s time .

Counter affidavits have been filed .

In the first case (CWJC No. 11057 of 2010) it is

admitted that an amount of Rs. 5,76,812/- , in the second case

(CWJC No. 11090 of 2010) an amount is Rs. 5,77,277/-, in the

third case (CWJC No. 11329 of 2010) an amount is
2

Rs.5,90,038/- and in the fourth case(CWJC No. 11412 of 2010)

an amount is Rs. 5,76,198/- are payable to the petitioners. These

figures clearly show that the arrears have been accumulating for

decades for no fault of the petitioners but rank ineufficiency on

the part of the University Authorities. I have no option but to

direct that by 11th of October,2010, all these amounts should be

paid to the petitioners along with interest at the rate of Rs. 12%

per annum from the date the amounts were due to the date when

the amounts are paid .

On that date that is 11th October 2010, the

University would file a counter affidavit in compliance of this

order. In case payments are not made by then, the Vice

Chancellor ,the Registrar and the Finance Officer of the Vir

Kunwar Singh University shall not draw any remuneration till

payments are accordingly cleared. The petitioners may verify the

calculations and file their objections.

Put up on 11 October 2010.
