This Court only directed the respondents to pass a reasoned order on the representation of the petitioners and if, it is found that the petitioners are entitled for any benefits, the same should be extended to them. The reasoned order has been passed on 4th September, 2024 wherein, it has been held that the principal amount deducted from the salary of the petitioners is to be refunded to the petitioners and it has further been mentioned that the University has not earned any interest upon the deducted amount so no interest can be paid on the same to the petitioners. Counsel for the University submits that there is a circular of the University which provides for payment of interest. Rivial submisison has to be decided in a writ petition and not in contempt petition. In a contempt, no mandamus can be issued. The mandamus, which was issued in writ jurisdiciton, was to decide the claim of the petitioners, which according to the Court, has been decided. If the petitioners are aggrieved by the said decision, it will be open to the petitioners to challenge the same. Accordingly, this contempt is dropped. Anu/-CP2. (ANANDA SEN, J. )
