Prof (Dr) Arnab Kumar Maiti v. The His Excellency Honourable Governor, West Bengal And Chancellor University Of Jhargram And ORS

30.6.2023 ap WPA 22418 of 2022 Prof. (Dr.) Arnab Kumar Maiti Vs.

The His Excellency Honourable Governor, West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Piyus Chaturbedi Mr. Manoranjan Jana ... For the petitioner.

Mr. Somnath Ganguli Mr. Sukalpa Seal ... For the State.

The writ petitioner has prayed for removal of respondent no. 11 by setting aside his letter of appointment.

It appears that pursuant to the judgment dated March 14, 2023, passed by the Division Bench of this Court in WPA (P) 170 of 2022 (Anupam Bera vs. The State of West Bengal & Ors.), respondent no. 11 had resigned from the post of Vice-Chancellor. Thereafter, he was given the responsibility to function as a ViceChancellor for a further temporary period of three months. That period is also over.

In that view of the matter, the writ petition has become infructuous.

Accordingly, WPA 22418 of 2022 is dismissed.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with the requisite formalities.
