1. In this appeal a lecturer in English who has had long service in the second respondent college has challenged the appointment of the third respondent to the post of a professor in English and Head of the English Department in the college by Ext. P3 order dated 15-4-66. The controversy between the appellant and the third respondent appears to have commenced more than a decade ago and has been fought out with a persistence which is commendable. This is the second time the matter has been considered by this Court. On the first occasion by judgment in O. P. No. 889 of 1970 which was disposed of on the 21st March, 1972 this Court directed (hat the University should consider the whole matter arising from the complaint of the appellant before the University that the third respondent had been wrongly chosen for the post of professor along with the representation made by the second respondent evidenced by Ext. R3 in these proceedings. The Vice Chancellor who, it was not disputed before us, was competent to deal with the matter passed Ext. P2 order rejecting the complaint of the appellant. The writ application O. P. No. 2819 of 1972 challenging the order Ext. P2 was dismissed
