JUSTICE BIRENDRA PRASAD VERMA ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 5 20-09-2011 Feeling aggrieved by the order dated 11th May 2011 made by the learned single Judge in above C.W.J.C No. 17220 of 2010, the writ petitioner has preferred this Appeal under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent. The writ petitioner, a Professor in the Department of English in Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur, filed the above writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to challenge the order dated 30th July 2010 made by the Chancellor of the University and the order dated 23rd August Patna High Court LPA No.1099 of 2011 (5) dt.20-09-2011 2 2007 made by the Vice-Chancellor of the University. The learned single judge has observed that in view of the order dated 30th July 2010 made by the Chancellor, the order dated 23rd August 2007 made by the Vice-Chancellor pales into insignificance. Under his order dated 30th July 2010, the Chancellor has not adjudicated upon the matter and has kept it open. In that view of the matter, the learned single Judge has rejected the writ petition with a direction to the University authorities to place the matter before the Selection Committee to take decision with regard to the date of promotion of the petitioner. It is apparent that the impugned order dated 30th July 2010 made by the Chancellor does not adjudicate upon the rights of the appellant. In our view the matter having been not conclusively decided, no cause of action arose. The learned single Judge has rightly disposed of the writ petition. No case for interference is required. Appeal is dismissed in limine. Prakash (R.M. Doshit, CJ) (Birendra Prasad Verma, J)
