Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal filed by Govind Barik and others against Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University and others. The Supreme Court of India, in its order dated October 13, 2008, addressed the procedural status of the appeal pending before the High Court. The court noted that the case was initially categorized under 'Incomplete After Notice Matters' but, with the consent of the learned counsel for both parties, it was taken up for hearing. The court granted leave and expressed its view that the pending appeal should be disposed of by the High Court. It directed the High Court to resolve the appeal within three months from the receipt of the order while ensuring that the interim order issued by the Supreme Court on August 21, 2008, would continue to operate until the High Court's decision was made. The appeal was thus disposed of with these directions.
