IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.3257 OF 2009 AND WRIT PETITION NO.4472 OF 2009 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ Heard learned Counsel for the parties. 2 According to the petitioners, the proposals for permanent approval for continuation of petitioners’ services and all consequential benefits have been submitted through proper channel. The Counsel appearing for the University submits that the University has processed those applications and forwarded the same to the University Grants Commission for its approval. The proposals are pending since 2008. We see no good reason as to why the University Grants Commission has taken so long time to decide such proposals. 3 The Counsel for the University Grants Commission submits that if the proposals are still pending, appropriate decision will be taken thereon within six weeks from today. We accept this assurance given across the Bar on behalf of the University Grants Commission to process the pending proposals and take final decision thereon and also to communicate the same to the respective petitioners within eight weeks from today. Till such decision is taken by the University Grants Commission, approval to the services rendered by the respective petitioners be granted on ad hoc basis by the University. In the event, the decision of the University Grants Commission is adverse to the petitioners, the same shall not be given effect to, for a period of two weeks from the date of communication thereof. All questions are left open, to be decided on its own merits. Petition is disposed of on above terms. (S.S. SHINDE, J) (A.M. KHANWILKAR,J) 03.03.2010. PLK/*
