It is the grievance of the petitioner that the result of PHD for which the petitioner has appeared or submitted a thesis was not declared in time and there was an inordinate delay in that regard, as a result, the petitioner has lost his two valuable years of career. 3. Counsel for the University tenders a letter :2: dated 3.8.2005, the same is taken on record and marked ’X’ for identification. From the explanation given in this letter dated 3.8.2005, it is clear that declaring result of PhD is dependent upon the submission of Adjudication Report of the Internal Examiner as well as External Examiner and within 45 days of the receipt of that report, result has to be declared and now according to counsel for the University the petitioner has become eligible to enroll himself for PhD. If this is so, we accept the statement of the counsel for the University, that the petitioner is eligible to enroll himself as PHD as per the Rules of the University. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. (SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.) (D.G. DESHPANDE, J.) (SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.) (D.G. DESHPANDE, J.) (SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.) (D.G. DESHPANDE, J.)
