ORDER
I have heard Smt.P.A.Jenzia, the learned counsel appearing for the
petitioner, who referred to Exhibit-P8 judgment of the Division Bench of this
Court and it is argued that this Court had made it clear that it would be open to
the Manager to produce materials to substantiate his case on merits as regards
the existence of another qualified candidate for the post of Principal of the HSE.
Referring to Exhibit-P9 order, the learned counsel submits that the RDD has not
taken note of the directives and proceeded to hold that the Manager can
appoint any person he chooses as the institute is the minority institution.
The learned Government Pleader shall file a statement.
Proceedings pursuant to Exhibit-P9 will remain stayed for a period of two
weeks.
Hand over.
