2026:UHC:4025 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS W PSS/ 3 9 / 2 0 2 6 Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J. Mr. C.K. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. There is no one to represent the respondents. 2. Petitioner has challenged communication dated 08.02.2025, issued to her by Additional Director, Administration and Monitoring, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology. By the said communication, petitioner was asked to submit a notarized affidavit stating that after entering University Campus, she will not participate in any agitation against the University. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner was engaged as contractual employee in the month of April, 2006 for discharging duties as Data Processing Analyst; however, on 15.09.2014, an order was passed restraining her from entering the University campus. 4. Competent authority in the University, later issued the communication (impugned in this writ petition), asking petitioner to submit affidavit, stating that she will not participate in any demonstration or agitation against the University authorities. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the undertaking which petitioner is asked to 2026:UHC:4025 give may be used against her in future and her services may be terminated without any valid reason by misusing her affidavit. This Court, however, is not inclined to interfere with the impugned communication. 6. Allegation against petitioner was that she participated in a violent protest against University authorities. Even though she was acquitted in criminal trial, however, the University authorities appear to be apprehensive, therefore they have required petitioner to submit affidavit giving such undertaking. 7. The authorities have to manage affairs of the University, therefore the undertaking which petitioner is called upon to give, cannot be termed as unjust or arbitrary. Thus, the relief claimed by petitioner in this writ petition cannot be granted. 8. The writ petition, however, is disposed of by permitting petitioner to approach the competent authority in the University along with the affidavit as required by impugned communication. If petitioner submits such affidavit within 10 days from today, the competent authority shall consider re-engaging the petitioner on the post of Data Processing Analyst, as before.
