COLLEGE, DANAPUR, PATNA-12 ………………………………………………………………………….RESPONDENTS ********* 5 10/12/2010 The three petitioners before this Court have been agitating their right to be considered for time bound /merit promotion to the post of Reader. The matter has been pending for years together. The Selection Committee of the University, which is responsible for considering whether a Professor is entitled for promotion to the post of Reader, shall consider the recommendation made by the Principal of B. S. College, Danapur, Patna and examine whether the 2 petitioner come within the zone of consideration. According to Annexure 17 to 20, the Principal of the College has already recommended the petitioners for promotion as Reader to the Registrar, Magadh University. The Registrar of the Magadh University apparently has perhaps not forwarded the matter to the authority concerned. The petitioners have filed several representations making their claim. In the result, I direct the Registrar, Magadh University to consider the case of the petitioners within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The petitioner is directed to produce a copy of this order before the Registrar, Magadh University within a period of eight week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Anand ( Sheema Ali Khan, J. )
