The Chancellor of the Rajendra Agricultural University, Raj Bhavan, Patna. … Respondents. ------------- 3. 02.8.2010 Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to add the Chancellor of the Rajendra Agricultural University as respondent no. 7 to this writ petition during the course of the day. Permission is accorded. Heard Mr. A. B. Ojha, counsel for the petitioner, Mr. A. K. Upadhaya, counsel for the University as also counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ petition reads as follows:- “1. That this is an application for a writ of mandamus commanding the respondents to place the Field Oversears Members of the petitioner Association in 2 the pay scale of 4500-7000/- w.e.f. the due date in place of 6th revised pay scale of Rs.4000-6000/-.” Before Mr. Ojha, counsel for the petitioner could make his submission on merits of the case, he could not overcome the preliminary objection raised by other side namely the pendency of a representation filed by the petitioner Association before the Chancellor of the University. Such representation therefore one way or the other, was to be disposed of by the Chancellor before the petitioner could have moved this Court. In that view of the matter, this Court would expect that Hon'ble Chancellor will find time to dispose of the representation of the petitioner (if not already disposed of during the pendency of this writ petition) within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It is, however, made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merit of the case of the petitioner. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this writ petition is disposed of. kanchan/ (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
