(Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble Chief Justice) On hearing the learned counsel for parties, we find that necessary actions have been taken by the University to redeem certain positions, though search for the appropriate faculty of requisite merit and number is the challenging exercise. The endeavour continues.

2.At present, we see no reason to keep the petition pending and thus, close it with liberty to revive in case of any future difficulties. No costs.
