Still further, petitioner has not been given an opportunity to peruse the relevant files. 2. When this writ petition came up for consideration in the morning, learned Standing counsel submitted that the petitioner had been refusing to receive the file, though it was offered to him. But some time in the afternoon on July 12, 2007, petitioner had accepted the relevant files. However, learned counsel for the petitioner refuted the allegation that he had refused to accept the file . 3. Therefore learned counsel for the parties were directed to get further instruction in the matter from their respective clients. 4. When the matter has been taken up again, it is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he has in fact received the file. But several crucial papers are missing from the file. He has brought it to the notice of the Vice Chancellor who has requested him to give his complaint in writing. It is further submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he intends to address the Vice Chancellor in this regard and make a request for appropriate remedial action. WP.21652/07 2 5.
