It appears to me on a perusal of the materials on record and consideration of the submissions of learned counsel for the parties that the dispute is going in between the petitioner and respondent no.4, for the office of the Principal of degree section of Shahid Shashi Prasad Singh College, Shambhuganj, Banka. I am informed at the Bar that two other writ petitions, apart from the present one raising similar or incidental issues, are pending in this Court. The petitioner has stated in paragraph 5 of his supplementary affidavit that the Vice- Chancellor of the University convened the meeting of all concerned including 2 Members of Syndicate on 21.2.2008. It appears that the final decision is still awaited. In that view of the matter, respondent no.2 (The Vice-Chancellor, Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University) is hereby directed to ensure final decision in this matter after affording reasonable opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and respondent no.4, which shall be disposed of by a reasoned order. This Court will be pleased if the entire matter is completed within a period of four weeks from today. Before I part with the records, I must state that respondent no.2 shall ensure that the interest of students shall not be allowed to suffer on account of the dispute between the petitioner and respondent no.4 This writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Let copies of this order be handed over to learned counsel for the parties today itself. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar , J.)
