The claim is that the private Governing Body of the college and the State secretary of the Governing Body are not correctly drawing up the list of teaching and non-teaching staff only in order to give undue benefit to some teachers and other staff ,who were never employees of the College. Ignoring the claim of regular employees of the College , it is pointed out that one of the teachers Dr. Murlidhar Singh had earlier approached 2 this Court with similar prayer in CWJC No. 17138 of 2009, which was disposed of by this Court on 1.4.2010 directing the University to conduct an enquiry and take a decision in this matter within four weeks. Petitioners state that more than four months have passed what to talk of four weeks but the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Department, Human Resources Department is taking no action . In my view, it would be appropriate for the University to inquire into the matter at the first instance. I therefore, direct the University to inquire into the matter of the employees of the College, in question, and decide the list after hearing the parties in this regard. The University would be competent to inquire from the Management of the College regarding employment and other particulars of the employees and then within two months finalize the list. Once the list is so finalized, the grant that is received from the State , accordingly to pay the employees. The responsibility for complying the order of this Court would solely on the Vice Chancellor of the University .It is directed that the Governing Body , the Secretary of the Governing Body , the Principal and any other Officer, if required by the University, would fully co- operate in the matter and the University would be free to take disciplinary action against any person ,who refuses to co-operate in the enquiry so that would not delay the enquiry in any view of the matter. With this observations and directions the writ application is disposed of. Singh ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
