Dean till further orders. Meaning thereby, the order was put in abeyance. The order has lost its force on expiry of three years period on 2.8.2017 and whereafter no order has been passed by the Director extending the tenure as admitted by the parties. In other words, the matter has been rendered infructuous by passage of time.
Mr. Srivastava informs that the charge of Dean has now been given to another gentleman which assignment again does not satisfy the petitioner but then his forum would be in a different proceeding and not in the present one.
In the circumstances noted, the writ petition is disposed of as having become infructuous by passage of time.
