J U D G M E N T Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel. 2. In the counter affidavit it is averred by the Registrar of the University that the course in Ayurveda had been abolished since Council of Indian Medicines had not accorded recognition. The other contentions raised by the Registrar also indicate that the petitioner cannot be accommodated in the University for the time being, since there is no sufficient workload. It is also seen mentioned that the request made by the University for permission to start BAMS Course in the University is pending consideration before the Government. Anyhow, the fact remains that petitioner has cancelled the unavailed portion of his Leave Without Allowances. He had informed the University about his preparedness to join duty in the first week of August, 2007. That being the position, the University cannot refuse to admit the petitioner. 3. In the above facts and circumstances the University is directed to re-admit the petitioner to duty forthwith. It is made clear that it will be open to the University to take appropriate further action in the matter in accordance with the provisions contained under the Act and the Statutes. Writ Petition is closed reserving the right of the petitioner to approach the Court again, if the situation so warrants. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
