THE PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA THROUGH ITS REGISTRAR 3. THE VICE CHANCELLOR, PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA 4. THE REGISTRAR, PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA--RESPONDENTS ----------- 3 25.4.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. By virtue of annexure-8 dated 10.10.2007, 12 teachers were given benefit of promotion on the post of Reader under the Career Advancement Scheme with effect from the date indicated in the said notification. Petitioner’s name figured at serial no.7 and the date of promotion is 26.9.2005. According to the petitioner there is mistake. The benefit should actually accrue with effect from 17.10.2003. This benefit is being claimed on the basis of earlier decision and recommendation made. It is also submitted that at least in the case of one other teacher i.e. the case of Dr. Menakshi Singh by virtue of a notification dated 8.4.2011 her claim for shifting the date has been accepted on the basis of the recommendation of the selection committee when the matter was referred to the university for reconsideration in a writ filed by her and disposed of by order dated 27.1.2011. In a short counter affidavit which has been filed on behalf of the University no serious challenge has been made to the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner. In fact, a stand has been taken that the case of the petitioner will be placed before the - 2 - selection committee of the university and they will abide by the recommendation made in this regard. In view of above without expressing any opinion on the merit of the claim of the petitioner let the respondent university authorities specially the Registrar i.e. respondent no.4 place the case of petitioner for consideration before the selection committee at the very first meeting which may be held in this regard wherein a decision will be taken and communicated to petitioner at the earliest. This writ application is disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
