    Case Summary: CWJC/6949/2022 Decision: The Patna High Court dismissed the writ petition as infructuous, finding that retired and working teachers from L.N. Mithila University were correctly paid honorarium of Rs. 25,000/month from August 2019 onwards, not February 2019 as claimed. The court upheld the university's position that the Advisory Committee's February 2020 resolution fixed the payment effective date as August 2019 (when the Syndicate approved the proposal), and since the petitioners had already received all outstanding differences totaling Rs. 3,78,000 after tax deductions, their relief claims were moot.
