¶1Heard Mr. S.F.A. Naqvi, learned Senior Counsel assisted by Sri Syed Ahmed Faizan, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri Rohit Pandey, learned counsel for respondent-University.

¶2The present writ petition has been preferred for quashing of the office order dated 25.07.2023 issued by the respondent no. 3 i.e. Examination Controller, Bhim Rao Ambedkar University Agra as well as the communication dated 25.07.2023 vide letter no. COE/475/2023 addressed to respondent no. 4 i.e. Senior Manager (Software) U.P. Electronic Corporation Limited (Annexure No. 1 and 2 respectively to the writ petition), whereby, the petitioners' company is blacklisted. Alternatively, prayer is made to direct the respondents not to interfere in the business activities of the petitioners.

¶3The writ petition was entertained on 22.9.2023 and the matter was adjourned on the request of Sri Sanjeev Singh, learned Senior Advocate appeared on behalf of University as it had been informed that the matter is ceased before the Executive Counsel.

¶4Today, when the matter is taken up, Sri Rohit Pandey, learned counsel for the University states that so far as the order of blacklisting, the same is recalled by the University and the recommendation is already made to the U.P. Electronic Corporation Limited/respondent no. 4 to proceed as per law.

¶5Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the categorical stand taken by the University, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending for consideration. Once the order of blacklisting is already recalled, we hope and trust that respondent no. 4 would proceed strictly in accordance with law, expeditiously and preferably within six weeks from the date of production of this order.

¶6With aforesaid observations and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. Order Date :- 13.12.2023 A.K.Srivastava High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
