The petitioner herein was originally appointed on 06.07.2018 for a period of one year for the post of Principal in the fourth respondent college and after expiry of one year, he was permitted to function as Principal. Through an impugned order dated 22.02.2023, the fourth respondent herein had relieved the petitioner from service. The petitioner had given representation seeking for re-absorption in the parent department as Professor of the fourth respondent college on 27.02.2023. Though the petitioner had challenged the order dated 22.02.2023 relieving him from the post of Principal, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would be satisfied if the respondents are directed to consider his representation within a stipulated time.
