THE VICE-CHANCELLOR BABA SAHEB BHIM RAO AMBEDKAR, BIHAR UNIVERSITY, MUZAFFARPUR 2. THE REGISTRAR B.R.AMBEDKAR BIHAR UNIVERSITY, MUZAFFARPUR 3. THE FINANCE OFFICER B.R.AMBEDKAR BIHAR UNIVERSITY, MUZAFFARPUR 4. THE PRINCIPAL J.S.COLLEGE, CHANDAULI, P.S. BELSAND, DIST.- SITAMARHI (BIHAR) ----------- 3. 16.12.2010 The writ application of the petitioner is disposed of on a limited point which is violation of the principle of natural justice. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that both the post and pay scale have been reduced by the respondent authorities of the University without giving him an opportunity of hearing or show cause, which has serious consequences for him. Irrespective of the stand taken by the University in the counter affidavit, matter is being remanded back to the concerned authority that they shall give a notice to the petitioner asking him to show cause against the so called action and after hearing the petitioner, an appropriate order in this regard may be passed afresh. The court expect that after a notice is issued 2 the petitioner will respond to the same immediately and a decision will be rendered within a reasonable time frame taking into consideration the nature of dispute, preferably within four months. This writ application is disposed of with the above observation. Devendra/ ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
