Pursuant to the previous order dated 7.7.2010 Mr. Samrendra Pratap Singh, the Vice Chancellor and Mr. Vimal Kumar, the Registrar, L.N.Mithila University, have appeared in person and both of them have in person unequivocally given an undertaking that in no case of the University pending before this Court, either in the writ petition or contempt application, counter affidavit/ show cause would be delayed henceforth beyond a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of the copy of the writ application/ contempt application. As with regard to pending matters it has been 2 conveyed that within a period of six months there will be not a single case before this Court concerning L.N.Mithila University in which there would be no counter affidavit/ show cause. Recording the aforementioned undertaking and making them conscious of the consequence of non-compliance of such undertaking this Court would exempt their personal appearance for the present. Coming to the merits of this case, the Vice Chancellor takes a plea that since he has joined only day before Yesterday he would need some tome to examine the facts of the case and take his decision. He has, therefore, conveyed through the counsel appearing on behalf of the University that within a period of three weeks from today he would take decision and payment as admissible to the petitioner in terms of his order and in keeping with the direction of this Court in the order dated 23.3.2009 in C.W.J.C.No. 3346/2009 will be made within one week of passing of such order. Such action having been completed by the Vice Chancellor of the University, 3 the Registrar of the University shall also file a compliance report through his counsel to the Registry of this Court immediately on expiry of the aforesaid period. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
