WPA 13894 of 2017 Dr. Debesh Pal Vs.

State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Ranajit Chatterjee, Mr. Aniruddha Mitra ...for the Petitioner Mr. Amal Kr. Sen, Mr. Lal Mohan Basu ...for the State Ms. Lina Majumder ...for Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya 05-09-2022 AKG Ct. 238 The University submits that the prayer of the petitioner for promoting him as a Professor had already been rejected in its meeting held on May 15, 2015, but the petitioner did not challenge the said order.

Mr. Chatterjee, learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was not communicated with the said order. He, however, presumed that his prayer was rejected by the University and, therefore, he made a representation before the Vice-chancellor on March 29, 2017, by submitting a fresh application, which is appearing at page 58 of the writ petition for promotion as a Professor under the career advancement scheme. The petitioner had retired from the post on March 31, 2013.

Since the representation of the petitioner was not considered by the Vice-chancellor of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, it is deemed fit and proper to

direct the Vice-chancellor of the said University to consider the said representation made by the petitioner dated March 29, 2017, within a period of two months from date in accordance with law. It is made clear that this Court has not gone into the merit of the representation dated March 29, 2017.

Accordingly, WPA 13894 of 2017 is disposed of. Let urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all the necessary formalities. (Kausik Chanda, J.)
