Hon’ble Amitava Lala, J.—The petitioner is an employee of the Allahabad Agricultural Institute Deemed University. From the Constitution of the said institute it appears that the same is a Christian University of Rural Life. According to the petitioner, the institute has been declared as Deemed University under the provisions of Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956 (hereinafter called as “Act, 1956”) vide notification dated 15th March, 2000. There is a Vice-Chancellor with full time salary to be appointed by the President from the panel of three names suggested by a search committee. The committee comprises nominee of the President of the institute, nominee of the State Government and nominee of Chairman of the University.

2. The necessary bye-laws say that tenure of the Vice-Chancellor to hold the office is for a period of five years and he shall not be eligible for re-employment. However, the Vice-Chancellor can continue with the office not more than the period of six months beyond the stipulated period. From the other records we find that a Vice-Chancellor shall retire during the tenure of his office in the institution if he completes the age of 65 years
