Tekriwal, GA – I For the Chancellor: Mr. Shivendra Kishore, Advocate For the University: Mr. S.C. Mishra, Advocate ----------- 2 19/5/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State, learned counsel for the Chancellor and learned counsel for the University. Petitioner wants that the University should take action against the present Principal of Dayanand Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Siwan for alleged defalcation of money belonging to the College and the University should also ensure that a proper ad hoc committee is constituted in place of earlier ad hoc committee which facilitated the defalcation of money by the Principal. Petitioner also wants that the promotions made in the College by the tainted Principal should also be cancelled. We are not persuaded to interfere with the matter in public interest litigation at the instance of the petitioner. It appears that the matter is still pending before Hon’ble the Chancellor, who has only passed the interim order. If so advised, the petitioner may seek 3 intervention in the matter pending before Hon’ble the Chancellor and seek an appropriate remedy within the scope of law governing the University. Writ petition is disposed of. Neyaz/ (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
