Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, the State and for the Tilka Manjhi University at Bhagalpur. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the University cannot be equated with a private individual to relegate the petitioner to alternative remedies if the University fails to fulfill its promise and on which assurance the petitioner agreed to part with his land upon payment of compensation. Let alone quantum of compensation, no compensation has been paid. Learned counsel for the University submits that the Vice Chancellor may be directed to examine issues. The university cannot behave in the manner of a private individual acquiring lands of citizens on promise of payment of compensation and then deny or evade the benefit. If what the petitioner contends be correct, it may have serious consequences on the rights of the petitioner that the University may have occupied in the aforesaid manner. The writ petition is disposed with liberty to the petitioner to represent before the Vice Chancellor. It may only be noticed at this stage that counsel for the State points out that the lands do not appear to have been acquired by the University but by a Constituent College of the University when issues of concurrence of the University etc. shall also have to be considered by the Vice Chancellor. The Court upholds the objection of the State. Keeping in mind the high office the Vice Chancellor holds the Court expects he shall consider and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed. Ibrar/- ( Navin Sinha, J.)
