Though the initial tenure was for 2 years, petitioner continued in that post and Ext.P2 is the latest order. It is stated that, at present the University is taking steps for appointing a Doctor on regular basis. At this stage, claiming that the petitioner should be given pension and other benefits, he has filed Ext.P3. In this writ petition, petitioner's complaint is that orders have not been passed on Ext.P3. I heard the standing counsel for the University also. In view of the facts stated above, I direct that the competent authority of the first respondent University shall take up 2 Ext.P5 and pass orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 6 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE vi. 3
