Shashank Kumar Singh, J.

1. The present Letters Patent Appeal has been preferred challenging the order dated 1-11 -2002 passed in CWJC No. 9623 of 2002.

2. The appellants are the respondents in the writ application and are functionaries of Rajendra Agricultural University, Pusa. The writ application had been initiated by the two employees of the State Government who were on deputation in Rajendra Agricultural University and had superannuated but were not being paid their admitted Genera! Provident Fund dues, leave encashment and arrears of revised pay of their scale with effect from 1-1-1996.

3. It may not be out of place to mention that during pendency of the writ petition itself the liability had been accepted by the respondent University inasmuch as certain amounts were paid by producing demand draft of Rs. 16,053.00 issued in favour of Shambhu Nath, Petitioner No. 1 for payment of his provident fund amount. A further undertaking was given by the appellants before the writ Court to pay the provident fund dues of the petitioner No. 2 of the writ petition for which bill had already been submitted to the Treasury by the next day, i.e., 2-11-2002. As regards leave encashment
