IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2285 of 2010 1. DR.AZFAR HUSSAIN FIROZ S/O LATE MD. AKHTAR R/O M.M.NAGAR COLONY, P.S. SIWAN, DISTT.- SIWAN Versus 1. THE CHANCELLOR OF UNIVERSITIES, RAJ BHAWAN, PATNA 2. THE JAI PRAKASH UNIVERSITY, CHAPRA THROUGH ITS REGISTRAR 3. THE VICE CHANCELLOR, JAI PRAKASH UNIVERSITY, CHAPRA 4. THE REGISTRAR, JAI PRAKASH UNIVERSITY, CHAPRA 5. Z.A. ISLAMIA COLLEGE, SIWAN THROUGH THE SECRETARY, GOVERNING BODY 6. PRINCIPAL, Z.A. ISLAMIA COLLEGE, SIWAN ----------- 2 03/12/2010 This writ application was filed on 8.2.2010. No counter affidavit is forthcoming from the respondent University authorities. In fact, it is their inaction or in- decision which has compelled the petitioner to approach the High Court because his claim for promotion, even though recommended by the Hon’ble Chancellor by several communications, last of them being dated 15.12.2009, has not shaken the respondents authorities, especially the Vice Chancellor of the University to take a decision in the matter. Either Vice Chancellor does not have time even for the Chancellor or he has not bothered for any communication issued from the office of the Chancellor. - 2 - In the opinion of this Court, petitioner has unnecessarily been harassed to come to High Court for a direction again for a decision because decision has to be taken at the level of the University before there could be an occasion for this Court to interfere in the matter. The Court fails to understand the attitude of the University authorities. This writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the Vice Chancellor of Jai Prakash University, Chapra that he must take decision and communicate the same to the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of communication or production of a copy of this order. Failure to do so may entail consequences. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
