The grievance in this Petition against the Respondent is about non-compliance of the Order dated 6th August, 2001. From the operative part of the said Order, it is more than clear that the State Government was directed to take decision on the issue of de-reservation and regularisation within a period of 12 weeks from the receipt of the proposal from the University. The fact that the said proposal has been forwarded by the University and duly received by the State Government is not in dispute. However, that event has occurred long back and immediately after 2 August, 2001. Suffice it to observe that the limitation for filing present Petition commenced from the date of expiry of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of proposal from the University by the State Government. Thus understood, the Petition is barred by limitation. 2. It is however, made clear that dismissal of this Petition will not come in the way of the Petitioner to pursue such other remedy, as may be permissible by law. 3. Petition disposed of on the above terms. (A.M.KHANWILKAR,J) (A.M.KHANWILKAR,J) (A.M.KHANWILKAR,J)
