The grievance of the petitioner is that the matter is being adjourned from time to time and no orders have been passed thereon for the past more than a year.

Adjudication of the right of the petitioner needs veriﬁcation of records as well as issuance of notice to the aﬀected party. It cannot be said that there was undue delay on the part of the first respondent. At the same time, it is in the interests of the institution as well as the concerned persons for early disposal of the said O.A. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the ﬁrst respondent shall pass orders in the said O.A., within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. ______________________ L.
