Summary
Petitioner Patel Hargovindbhai Dahyabhai filed a special civil application alleging that retirement dues, including arrears of the 7th Pay Commission, remained unpaid. Respondent State of Gujarat, represented by Ms. Foram Trivedi, and Respondent University, represented by Mr. Munjaal M. Bhatt, produced photocopies of cheques showing payments of Rs.11,78,672 and Rs.16,46,532, and an order sanctioning Rs.2,87,675 for the 7th Pay Commission arrears after tax deduction. The court found that, apart from the sanctioned arrears, no further amount was due to the petitioner. It directed the respondents to pay the Rs.2,87,675 arrears by 28‑02‑2026 and ordered the petition to be disposed. The petition was therefore dismissed with directions for compliance.
