Sri Shashank Shekhar Singh, learned counsel appearing for respondent nos.2 to 6 vehemently opposed the petition but has no objection on innocuous prayer as made by learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. Without entering into merits of the case, I am inclined to allow the innocuous prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner as no objection made by learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent nos. 2 to 6. The petitioner is directed to approach the appellate authority i.e. Executive Council under Section 36B of the Aligarh Muslim University Act, 1920 by way of filing an appeal within one week from today.
