Dated July 13, 2006 Heard learned counsel for the rival parties and perused the entire material on record. Learned counsel for the petitioner does not press the writ petition, but only seeks relief to the effect that whatever dues legally are payable to the petitioner, the same may be directed to be paid by the respondents. We are hesitating in issuing any mandamus to the respondents as prima facie in our opinion, the Gurukul Kangri University is not the instrumentality of the State within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution. However, we are not expressing our opinion finally on this issue. Since Sri Arvind Vashisth, learned counsel for the University assured us that whatever legal dues standing to the credit of the petitioner payable by the Gurukul Kangri University, that shall be paid. Accordingly we disposed of the writ petition in the aforesaid terms. (B.S. Verma, J.) (P.C. Verma, J.) RCP
