The Patna University through the Vice Chancellor, Patna University, Patna. 3. The Vice Chancellor, Patna University, Patna. 4. The Registrar, Patna University, Patna. -----------Respondents ------------------------ 2. 28.02.2011 Without expressing any opinion on the merit of the claim of the petitioner at this stage, taking into consideration the stand of the Patna University that University has sought guideline from the office of the Chancellor, as the matter relates to large number of teachers who are claiming similar benefit of promotion from the back date the Court would like to leave the issue to the University at this stage. The communication to the Chancellor is dated 4.1.2011 and is Annexure-B to the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the Patna University. The writ application is disposed of with an observation that no sooner a clarification is received from the office of the Chancellor in relation to Annexure-B, the University will take a stand on 2 the issue and decide the claim of the petitioner at the earliest. If benefit accrues to the petitioner well and good if not he may have remedy under law on yet another occasion. The Court has refrained from expressing any opinion on the merit of the case because the issue relates to a large number of persons and not to the petitioner alone. Office of the Chancellor will be well advised to expedite the issue so that the dispute can be set to rest and no further litigations as such are generated. This writ application is disposed of with the above observation. Anand Kr. ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
