Anyhow, I do not propose to deal with any of the contentions raised by the petitioners in this writ petition, in view of the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel for the University at the Bar. He submits that an appropriate decision on the question of approval of appointments of the petitioners will be taken within one month from today. The above submission is recorded. Writ petitions are closed. A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jes
