IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10993 of 2011 Dr.Taran Kumari, Wife of Shri Mahesh Prasad Rai, Resident of Neelkanth Bhawan, Chaturbhuj Thakur Marg, P.S. Ramna, District- Muzaffarpur. Versus 1. B. R. Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur, through its Registrar. 2. The Vice Chancellor, B. R. Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. 3. The Registrar, B. R. Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. ----------- 2. 13.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel appearing for the respondent University. The challenge in the present writ application is to the order dated 2.7.2010 by which the date of absorption as well as the subsequent date of promotion has been changed to the disadvantage of the petitioner. The said impugned order mentions about various orders of this Court as well as the order of the Hon’ble Apex Court and finally the order of the Vice Chancellor and the State Government in the department of Human Resources Development. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, it is not in dispute that the said order has been passed without any opportunity being afforded to the petitioner to defend her case. On this very short point this Court is inclined to finally dispose off the matter since this does not require going into the merits at 2 this stage. Accordingly, the impugned order dated 2.7.2010 as contained in Annexure-8 to the writ petition is quashed so far as it relates to the petitioner. The position as existing prior to the issuance of the letter shall prevail. The parties are not precluded to take any action in accordance with law but the same should be after giving due and proper opportunity of being heard to the petitioner or whoever is connected with the same. With the aforesaid observations this writ petition is allowed. Anand Kr. ( Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
