SYNDICATE, THROUGH HIS CHAIRMAN VICE CHANCELLOR, PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA 5. REGISTRAR, PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA 6. DEPUTY REGISTRAR, PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA 7. PRINCIPAL, B.N. COLLEGE, PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA ----------- 02. 24.1.2011 Petitioner is a former Reader under the Patna University who subsequently came to be dismissed from service for a set of charges, which has become a subject matter of dispute in the present writ application. The reason for the petitioner to file writ is because the Hon`ble Chancellor is not taking decision on his appeal which is pending since the year 2009 itself. Matter was adjourned with a direction upon the counsel both for the Chancellor as well as Patna University to apprise this Court as to the actual state of affairs of the appeal of the petitioner. This Court has been informed that University has already responded to the queries made at the level of the Chancellor way back in February, 2010 itself but the appeal has not been heard and decided till date. Looking at the time period which has already elapsed since the filing of the appeal, this Court is of the opinion that adjudication on the appeal of the petitioner ought to be made 2 and final decision communicated to him at the earliest within a reasonable time frame. Writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the office of the Chancellor to do the needful. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
