The State of Bihar through the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. ...........Respondents. ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Uday Chand Prasad, Adv. Mr. Manoj Kumar, Adv. Mr. Binod Kr. Sinha, Adv. For the University: Mr. Hemendra Pd. Singh, Adv. 2/ 09.11.2009 Petitioner has filed this application for quashing of Notification dated 8.2.2005 issued by the Registrar, B.N. Mandal University, Madhepura whereby his date of absorption in service has been recognized as 1.12.2004 instead of his date of appointment i.e. 16.03.1980. Petitioner has acquired Ph.D. degree on 29.11.2004. Petitioner’s case is that ignoring the relevant provisions under the University Act and as well as different circulars in this regard, the date of absorption has been considered as 1.12.2004 when it should have been his date of appointment i.e.16.3.1980. Petitioner has represented before the Vice-Chancellor, B.N. Mandal University, against the order passed by the Registrar dated 8.2.2005, which is still pending for consideration. This matter is disposed of directing the Vice- Chancellor of B.N. Mandal University to dispose of petitioner’s representation within four weeks from the date of 2 production/communication of the order. The representation should be disposed of with the reasoned order considering all relevant provisions under the University Act and as well as different circulars on this issue. Petitioner can approach this Court again after exhausting alternative remedies available to him, under the University Act, in this respect. Sanjeet/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
