Coram: Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. Hon’ble Mr. Justice R.B. Misra, Judge. Whether approved for reporting? For the Petitioners : Mr. Ajay Mohan Goel, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. Onkar Jairath, Advocate. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. The petitioner has filed the Writ Petition with the following prayers: “i) This Hon’ble Court may be pleased issue a writ of Mandamus directing the respondent-University to provide to the petitioner at least two promotional avenues from the post of Assistant Director (Training and Placement). ii) This Hon’ble Court may be pleased issue a writ of Mandamus directing the respondent-University to grant to the petitioner Time Scale on completion of 4,9 and 14 years of service w.e.f. 29.1.2000 with all consequential benefits along with interest at the rate of 9 per cent from the date of completion of 4 years of service till the date of actual payments.” Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for the University. Whether reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? -2- In the nature of the relief sought by the petitioner, he could have approached the University in case of second relief since the first relief is a matter of policy for the University. It is submitted that the similarly situated employees have already been rendered stagnation relief in view of the non-availability of promotional avenues. If that be so, the case of the petitioner deserves to be considered in terms of the similarly situated persons who have been allegedly granted the benefits. The petition is disposed of with the following direction: In the event the petitioner approaches the University in terms of relief under prayer No. 2, the matter will be considered by the University with a notice to the petitioner and appropriate action in accordance with law shall be taken in the matter. Also in the light of the observations made, decision shall be taken within another three months. The petitioner shall produce copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the Authority concerned. With these observations, the petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. ( Justice Kurian Joseph ), Chief Justice. ( R.B. Misra ), February 22, 2010 Judge. ( tr/ks)
