And / Or Petitioner further prays for quashing of the Order dated 13.11.2025 (Annexure-8) by which Respondent No-3 has expelled the petitioner from the programme with effect from 13.11.2025. And / Or 2026:JHHC:17827 2 Petitioner further prays that during pendency of the instant writ petition, respondents be directed to allow the petitioner to attend class and to appear in examination.” 2. Heard learned counsel representing the petitioner and learned counsel representing the respondents. 3. Admittedly, the validity of the expulsion of the petitioner from the “Xavier Institute of Social Service, Ranchi (XISS)” is being considered by “Jharkhand Educational Tribunal (JET)”. The petitioner can only get the consequential reliefs which the petitioner has prayed in this writ petition only if his expulsion from XISS is declared to be bad. 4. It has been admitted by the petitioner that the matter is still pending before the JET and the same is not being taken up in spite of the fact that the XISS had appeared. 5. Thus, without entering into the merits of this case and without entering to the other serious objections which the respondents have taken against the petitioner about his conduct, I dispose this writ petition with liberty to the petitioner to approach the JET. Once the petitioner approaches the JET and makes a request to dispose his case at the earliest, it is expected that the JET will take up the matter and will try to dispose the same preferably within a period of twelve weeks. 6. This writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 18th June, 2026 Prashant. Cp-2 Uploaded on 23.06.2026
