1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Civil Application No. 824/2008 in WRIT PETITION No. 3316/2007 (Rajeev Kumar Suman Vs. Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Vishwavidyalaya & 2 ors.) Appeal District : Application No. of 200 Writ petition Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. Mrs. R.A. Deshpande, Adv. for the petitioner. Mr. A.C. Dharmadhikari, Adv. for respondents. CORAM :D.D. SINHA & SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, JJ. DATED : MARCH 4, 2008. Heard Mr. Dharmadhikari for the applicant/respondents, and Mrs. Deshpande for the non-applicant/ petitioner. Civil Application No. 824/2008 is filed by the respondents for modification of order dated 19/12/2007 passed by us whereby Writ Petition No. 3316/2007 came to be disposed of. Mr. Dharmadhikari, the learned counsel for the applicant, has submitted that he had made a statement before this Court at the time of hearing of the Writ Petition No. 3316/2007, on behalf of the respondents 2 that the appeal of the petitioner in the said writ petition would be disposed of on its own merits, according to law and procedure applicable, within a period of six weeks from 19th December, 2007. It is contended that the respondents will not be able to dispose of the said appeal within six weeks since the petitioner has opted for arbitration process and, therefore, it is prayed that the statement made by him before this Court that the appeal would be decided within six weeks, which is reflected in the order dated 19th December, 2007, may be modified and no time limit be imposed in this regard. The counsel for the original petitioner has submitted that since the petitioner has opted for arbitration process, and if it is difficult to impose a particular duration for completion of arbitration process, in that event, atleast that process may be directed to be completed within a reasonable time. In that backdrop of the above referred facts, particularly in view of the procedure opted by the petitioner i.e. of arbitration, we allow the counsel for the respondents to withdraw the statement whereby it was undertaken to decide the 3 appeal within six weeks. However, we expect that the process of arbitration be completed within a reasonable time. With this modification in the order dated 19th December, 2007, civil application is disposed of.
