The Petitioner pointed out the representation dated 21st August 2025, which is made to the Registrar of Solapur University. From the perusal of this representation, it is clear that Petitioner has substantially raised his grievance by providing details of his service career. As such it is for the University to decide his entitlement for pensionary beneits and forward the proposal to the Joint Director of Education. However, for considerable period the same is pending without any decision. 4.

In the circumstances, the Respondent-Solapur University is hereby directed to decide the Petitioner's pending representation dated 21st August 2025 as expeditiously as possible and in any case within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5.

With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. [Pravin S. Patil, J.] [Madhav J. Jamdar, J.] Patil-SR 2 of
