Decided: 20 February 2026

Bench: AJIT KUMAR

Holding

Since the respondents have complied with the monetary award and the amount has been credited, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to file a representation if any grievance remains.

Summary

The petitioner, Rakesh Kumar Singh, filed a writ petition against Magadh University, Patliputra University, the State of Bihar and other officials seeking relief, presumably concerning a monetary claim for the period 1 March 2018 to 30 September 2023. The respondents filed an interlocutory application indicating that the sum of Rs. 1,81,97,419 had been transferred by RTGS after the applicable deductions. The court examined the compliance order and the annexed evidence of the transfer. Finding that the amount had indeed been credited, the court concluded that there was no remaining subject matter for further adjudication. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of, but the petitioner was granted liberty to file a representation if any grievance regarding the calculation of the amount arises.

Issues considered

Whether the respondents have complied with the monetary award claimed by the petitioner.
Whether the writ petition can be dismissed after compliance with the award.

                                        ORAL ORDER

22   20-02-2026                   Pursuant to the order dated 02.02.2026 passed in this

                    case, Dr. Anand Kumar, who appears for the Patliputra

                    University, submits that one interlocutory application has been

                    filed being I.A. No. 3 of 2026 in which the compliance order

                    has been appended and, for reference, he has pointed out the

                    document which is appended in the interlocutory application as
          Patna High Court CWJC No.18592 of 2017(22) dt.20-02-2026
                                                     2/2




                   Annexure-A, which goes to show that the amount to the rune of

                   Rs. 1,81,97,419/- for the period 01.03.2018 to 30.09.2023 has

                   already been transferred through RTGS after due deduction as

                   applicable in law.

                                2. Since, the compliance has already been made and

                   amount has also been credited in terms of Annexure R/A,

                   nothing survives further for pursuing this case.

                                3. At this stage, the petitioner seeks liberty to file

                   representation, in case of any grievance which is noticed in

                   relation to calculation.

                                4. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of

                   with a liberty to file representation, if any grievance are still to

                   be adjudicated in accordance with law, if so advised.



                                                                      (Ajit Kumar, J)
