The petitioner claims to be a public worker and according to him the advertisement issued by the Magadh University for appointment of Principal in various constituent Colleges of the University suffers from legal infirmity and does not provide reservation facility to other Backward Class in Annexure -2 to the Act providing for reservation. It appears from Annexure -6 that the petitioner has filed a representation in the matter before 2 the Chancellor of Universities Bihar, Patna on 10th October, 2009. Since the matter relates to the University, we are of the view that the matter should first be decided by the Chancellor. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. It is expected that the Chancellor shall look into the representation of the petitioner or a fresh copy thereof filed along with a copy of this order at an early date preferably within two months. It is made clear that we have not applied our mind to the merits of the matter and the Hon’ble Chancellor will be free to decide the matter on its own merits. Neyaz/ (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.) (S. K.
