Patna High Court CWJC No.1523 of 2017(2) dt.22-12-2017 2/2 Body of the College but without giving notice to her, the University has constituted Adhoc Governing Body in exercise of power under Section 60 (4) of the Bihar Universities Act, which was not required.

4. There is nothing on record to show that a Governing Body was earlier constituted though from Annexure-1 it appears that for the purpose of constitution of full Governing Body of the College, the University had approved the names of some of the members of the Governing Body in the year 2015. More than a year has elapsed from the date of the constitution of the said Adhoc Committee by the University by impugned notification.

5. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of the writ application with a direction to the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar of the University to ensure constitution of the Governing Body strictly in accordance with the statutory provisions within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.

6. This application stands disposed of accordingly. (Chakradhari Sharan Singh, J) arun/- U
