dated 16^th October, 2009, issued under the signature of Registrar/Patna University. A claim has been made by the petitioners that their pay has incorrectly been fixed ignoring the earlier scale granted to the petitioners. However, on perusal of the writ petition, it appears that after noticing so called error in the fixation of pay scale, the petitioners, without approaching the authority concerned, have directly approached this Court for issuance of writ of mandamus.

¶8

The Court is of the opinion that writ of mandamus can only be issued in a case where demand of justice has been made and it is refused.

¶9

In view of facts and circumstances, instead of passing any positive order, the Court proposes to dispose of the writ petition granting liberty to both the petitioners to file separate detailed petition/representation before the Registrar of the Patna University with supportive documents. If such petition is filed within a period of six weeks from today, the Registrar, Patna University will examine the same and pass appropriate order in accordance with law within a period of three months after filing of such representation. If the respondent/Registrar of the Patna University considers the claim of petitioners as genuine, he is required to pass a consequential order. In case of refusal, he is
