Nagpur University and ors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr Anand Parchure, Adv for petitioner Mr B.G. Kulkarni, Adv for R-1 Mr A.S. Kilor, Adv for R-2 Ms S. Wandile, AGP for R-3 Coram : D.D. Sinha and A.P. Bhangale, JJ Dated : 17th June 2009 1. Heard Mr Anand Parchure, learned counsel for petitioner, Mr B.G. Kulkarni, learned counsel for respondent no. 1; Mr A.S. Kilor, learned counsel for respondent no. 2 and Ms Sharda Wandile, learned AGP for respondent no.3. 2. Petitioner seeks permission to join the Chancellor of University as party-respondent. Permission granted. Amendment be carried out forthwith. 3. Learned counsel for respondent no.1 University has brought to our notice that against the decision of respondent no. 1 University to select respondent no.2 as Reader in Computer Science, petitioner has statutory remedy of appeal before the 2 Chancellor, if he is aggrieved by the same, under Section 76 (7) of the Maharashtra Universities Act, 1994. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that though the petitioner has filed an appeal way back in the month of January 2009, till date no decision has been taken by the Chancellor and, therefore, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing present petition for redressal of his grievance. 4. In the instant case, since there is statutory remedy of apeal provided and the petitioner has already availed of the same, we are not inclined to show indulgence at this stage and dispose of the petition. We expect the Chancellor to decide the said appeal on its own merit and in accordance with law within a period of two months from the date of communication of this order. With this observation, writ petition disposed of. Judge Judge hsj
