Mr. Anjani Kumar, Learned Senior Counsel Appearing On Behalf Of The T.M.Bhagalpur University Refers To The Order Of This Court Dated",,,

26.8.2009 (Annexure-14) To Contend That Payment Of Remuneration Is Admissible Only In Case The Petitioner Establishes That He Has Regularly,,,

Worked Since September, 1985. From The Report Of The Inspector Of The College It Appears That There Is Admission To The Effect That The",,,

Petitioner Did Work In The College But The Attendance Register And Class Register Of Practical Case With Regard To Taking Classes Also Does,,,

Not Indicate That He Has Regularly Attended The College And Worked.,,,

6.

On Perusal Of Entire Pleadings The Court Finds That There Are Enough Materials To Indicate That The Petitioner Has Worked In The College,,,

And As Such If The Petitioner Has Been Allowed To Work, He Is Entitled To Remuneration In Terms Of Annexure-14.",,,

7.

The Issue Of Engagement Of The Petitioner Either By The Authorities Of The University Or Otherwise, May Not Be Relevant In The Instant",,,

Case For The Purpose Of Deciding The Entitlement Of The Petitioner For Remuneration For The Period The Petitioner Has Actually Worked. In,,,

Fact, Similar Issue Was Considered By The Apex Court In The Case Of Government Of Andhra Pradesh Vs. K.Brahmanandam & Ors.: (2008) 5",,,

Scc 241 Wherein The Apex Court On Consideration Of Various Aspects Of The Matter And The Liability To Pay Salary To The Teacher Appointed,,,

In The Recognized School Held Out That The Right To Claim Salary Must Arise Under A Contract Or Under A Statute. If Such A Right Arises,,,

Under A Contract Between The Appointee And The Institution, Only The Latter Would Be Liable Therefor. Its Right In Certain Situation To Claim",,,

Reimbursement Of Such Salary From The State Would Only Arise In Terms Of The Law As Was Prevailing At The Relevant Time. In The Instant,,,

Case The Undispsuted Fact Is That The University Was Informed By The College About The Engagement Of The Petitioner But The University,,,

Neither Approved Nor Rejected The Engagement Of The Petitioner And Thus Due To Silence Of The University The College Utilized The Services,,,

Of The Petitioner And As Such Non-Payment Of Remuneration Would Be In Teeth Of Articles 21 And 23 Of The Constitution Of India And Also In,,,

Teeth Of Section 70 Of The Contrct Act.,,,

8.

Applying The Principle Discussed In The Judgment Of The Apex Court In The Case Of K.Brahmanandam (Supra), The Court Is Of The View",,,

That The Liability To Pay Remuneration Cannot Be Directly Fastened Against The University. However, If The Petitioner’s Service Was",,,

Utilized By The College For Imparting Instruction Then The Principal Of The College Is Under Obligation To Ensure Payment Of Salary To The,,,

Petitioner For The Period The Petitioner Has Actually Worked But The University Cannot Disown Its Liability By Maintaining Golden Silence On,,,

The Engagement Of The Petitioner.,,,

9.

Accordingly, The Writ Petition Is Disposed Of With A Direction To The University To Fix Accountability On The Principal(S) For Engaging The",,,

Petitioner And Allowing Him To Work. Since The Petitioner Was Allowed To Work Within The Knowledge Of The University, The University Is",,,

Primarily Responsible For Ensuring Payment Of Remuneration And Thereafter The University Shall Be At Liberty To Recover That Amount From,,,

The Principal/Professor-In-Charge Who Allowed The Petitioner To Work Notwithstanding There Was No Such Legals Sanction. Necessary Order,,,

For Payment Of Remuneration To The Petitioner For The Period The Petitioner Has Actually Worked, Shall Be Passed By The University Within A",,,

Maximum Period Of Four Months From The Date Of Receipt/Production Of A Copy Of This Order And Thereafter The University Shall Be At,,,

Liberty To Recover The Said Amount From The Concerned Principal Of The College Who Engaged And Allowed The Petitioner To Work Within A,,,

Further Period Of Three Months From The Date Of Making Payment Of Remuneration To The Petitioner.,,,
