TAPATI SARKAR, ADVOCATE ......for the Respondent Nos. 4 to 8 MR. DWIJADAS CHAKRABORTY, ADVOCATE MR. MOUMITA MONDAL, ADVOCATE ......for the Union of India

1. The present writ-petition has been placed in the list at the instance TUESDAY Court : CB-07 Item : DL-02 Bench : SINGLE Matter : WPA Status : OP ID : 266057 AR : NANDY of the petitioner on the plea that certain typographical errors have been crept up in the judgment dated 09.07.2025 by which the writpetition was disposed of.

2. It is stated that in paragraph 46, it was directed that the Chairman of the University Grant Commission (UGC) shall appoint an expert of unquestionable integrity and impartiality, who shall conduct a preliminary inquiry to determine whether the petitioner met the eligibility criteria for appointment to the post of Associate Professor.

3. Mr. Bose, learned Advocate representing the petitioner, submits that the words "Chairman of University Grant Commission (UGC)" should be replaced with the words "Chairman of All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE)".

4. Mr.

Jahan, learned Advocate representing the Institution, vehemently opposes such contention advanced by Mr. Bose. He invites my attention to certain portion of the Advertisement and submits that the Chairman of the UGC is the appropriate authority to conduct such preliminary enquiry.

5. Therefore, it is not a mere correction of typographical mistake, rather a judicial determination of the issue is required to be resolved whether the Chairman of the UGC or the Chairman of the AICTE would be the appropriate authority to conduct the preliminary enquiry in light of the judgment dated 09.07.2025. This cannot be done in a disposed of matter unless any proper application is filed.

6. Therefore, no order need be passed.
