It has emanated because of conflicting order<\/p>\n<p>                    issued by the University, the Chancellor and in a way compounded by<\/p>\n<p>                    status quo order by this Court. A cloud of confusion was created<\/p>\n<p>                    which no one attempted to clear in a proper and desirable manner and<\/p>\n<p>                    now it is left to this Court to rescue every body.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                   Heard Mr. S.K. Ghosh, learned Senior Counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>                    T.M.B. University, Mr. Shivendra Kishore, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>                    Chancellor, learned counsel for the intervener whose application is not<\/p>\n<p>                    to be found on record and the learned counsel for the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p>                                   It appears that in the year 2009 a policy to transfer<\/p>\n<p>                    teachers was issued by the office of the Chancellor. Pursuant thereto,<\/p>\n<p>                    the Vice-Chancellor of the University in the year 2009 issued various<\/p>\n<p>                    transfer orders transferring teachers from one constituent College to<\/p>\n<p>                    other and from College to Department etc. It appears that in 2010 the<\/p>\n<p>                    University revisited the issue.     The Vice-Chancellor, accordingly,<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                      -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>issued orders staying his earlier transfer orders of the year 2009. The<\/p>\n<p>effect of this was the teachers who had moved pursuant to the transfer<\/p>\n<p>orders of 2009 came back by virtue of the stay granted by the Vice-<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor himself in the year 2010. The Chancellor intervened and<\/p>\n<p>stayed the order of the Vice-Chancellor of the year 2010 staying the<\/p>\n<p>transfer orders.   The effect was that the 2009 transfer orders got<\/p>\n<p>revived. University circulated the order of the Chancellor accordingly<\/p>\n<p>to the concerned Principals as well.\n<\/p>\n<p>               The petitioner is a Principal of a constituent College at<\/p>\n<p>Naugachia under the T.M.B. University.            Upon receipt of the<\/p>\n<p>University communication, issued pursuant to the orders of the<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor, petitioner issued relieving orders, relieving the teachers<\/p>\n<p>mentioned in the transfer order to enable them to join the transferred<\/p>\n<p>post. This was done on 16.03.2010. In the meantime, large number of<\/p>\n<p>teachers, who were victims of this transfer order, cancellation and<\/p>\n<p>retransfer, had moved this Court. On 30.03.2010 this Court ordered<\/p>\n<p>that status quo should be maintained as of that day. The problem starts<\/p>\n<p>now.    Some of the teachers appeared to have moved the University<\/p>\n<p>because their position had become anomalies.          They were in the<\/p>\n<p>original College under orders of transfer.       They had not relieved<\/p>\n<p>themselves to join the new post but were shown to be relieved by the<\/p>\n<p>Principal (the petitioner). University constituted a team to ascertain the<\/p>\n<p>status of these persons. At that stage University was not advised to<\/p>\n<p>move this Court for any clarification nor did those teachers who were<\/p>\n<p>parties to the writ petition in which status quo was granted choose to<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                       -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>move this Court for clarification of their status.        The University<\/p>\n<p>constituted a Committee on 05.06.2010 to examine the matter. At the<\/p>\n<p>instance of the Committee, the University issued notification dated<\/p>\n<p>23.07.2010 (Annexure-5). By this notification, University held and<\/p>\n<p>directed that the persons named therein, in view of the status quo order<\/p>\n<p>of this Court passed on 30.3.2010, be allowed to rejoin their original<\/p>\n<p>place of posting.   The order aforesaid relates to different persons of<\/p>\n<p>different Colleges and Departments as well. This puts the petitioner in<\/p>\n<p>a tight spot.   She had on 16.03.2010 relieved some of the teachers,<\/p>\n<p>who were under orders of transfer. The status quo order followed on<\/p>\n<p>30.03.2010. Now the University was directing her to permit those<\/p>\n<p>persons to rejoin by order of University being issued on 27th July<\/p>\n<p>2010. She represented to the University as to what is to be done but<\/p>\n<p>she was also advised to come to this Court for clarification. The later<\/p>\n<p>was the right step taken by her. She intervened in the writ petition<\/p>\n<p>seeking clarification. This Court heard the said writ petition being<\/p>\n<p>C.W.J.C. No.4229 of 2010 and disposed of by order dated 08.09.2010,<\/p>\n<p>noticing intervention of the Principal and noticing that in view of the<\/p>\n<p>uncertainty created by transfer, stay of transfer, stay of stay of transfer<\/p>\n<p>and status quo granted by this Court, the matter should now be cleared<\/p>\n<p>of uncertainty by the Chancellor and it was expected that the<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor would act accordingly.          But, it appears that before<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor could take any action, reactions were there in the<\/p>\n<p>University. Petitioner, the Principal was feeling aggrieved by being<\/p>\n<p>forced to disobey the status quo order of this Court, the Vice-<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                      -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Chancellor was feeling aggrieved as his authority was being<\/p>\n<p>undermined by the Principal, the University Officers were aggrieved<\/p>\n<p>by the conduct of the Principal, who was not obeying the direct orders<\/p>\n<p>of the Vice-Chancellor passed pursuant to the Committee.            This<\/p>\n<p>friction should have ended if the Chancellor intervened in the matter<\/p>\n<p>and cleared the situation.\n<\/p>\n<p>               Petitioner&#8217;s defence is that she has only wanted to be on<\/p>\n<p>the right side of the Court. On the other hand, the Vice-Chancellor felt<\/p>\n<p>that certain persons were wrongly shown as relieved and should be<\/p>\n<p>permitted to rejoin, notwithstanding the orders of the status quo, as the<\/p>\n<p>Vice-Chancellor was only restoring the as it existed. The outcome of<\/p>\n<p>this friction was that the petitioner&#8217;s financial and administrative<\/p>\n<p>power was seized by the impugned order and she was asked to report<\/p>\n<p>to the University, effectively transferring her from the College to<\/p>\n<p>wherein in the University was not known.\n<\/p>\n<p>               In my view, everyone has become over sensitive to a<\/p>\n<p>non-issue.   If any clarification was required, it should have been<\/p>\n<p>sought from the Court because the last confusion if any or if at all was<\/p>\n<p>created by this Court by grant of status quo. No one except the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner approached this Court. Not even the persons who were<\/p>\n<p>party to the writ petition and were affected. They chose not to move<\/p>\n<p>this Court instead chose to move the University.\n<\/p>\n<p>               In fitness of things, pending final orders from the<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor, which I am informed would be taken very soon, if not<\/p>\n<p>already taken, the Vice-Chancellor should consider restoring the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>           position of the petitioner as the Principal and, consequently, the<\/p>\n<p>           petitioner would permit the persons, as contained in communication of<\/p>\n<p>           the order as contained in Annexure-5, to join because on that day<\/p>\n<p>           when the said writ petition was finally disposed the University had<\/p>\n<p>           already issued orders to the Principal to accept the rejoining of those<\/p>\n<p>           persons.\n<\/p>\n<p>                          In my view, University and Colleges are meant for<\/p>\n<p>           academics and not as a battle ground for vindicating prestige of<\/p>\n<p>           individual personalities.\n<\/p>\n<p>                          Let all parties act accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p>                          With these observations, the writ petition stands<\/p>\n<p>           disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre>Trivedi\/                        (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna High Court &#8211; Orders Dr.Kumkum Singh vs The T.M.Bhagalpur University &#8230; on 6 October, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16246 of 2010 Dr.Kumkum Singh, wife of Braj Nandan Singh, resident of Bara Bazar, P.S.- Kotwali, Town and District-Munger. -Petitioner.
