Delhi High Court sets aside JNU V-C order on chairperson posting

Appearing for JNU, its counsel Monika Arora, informed the court that the appointment of the chairperson for Linguistic Study was done on a temporary basis and it is yet to be ratified by the executive council which will meet on Tuesday. She contended that the plea was at a premature stage. However, the court noted that in all instances, chairpersons were appointed from the same centre whereas the V-C had appointed someone from the Centre for Persian Studies. While setting aside the order of the V-C, the court directed the executive council to appoint the chairperson in accordance to the law and practice of the university. '….I hereby direct the Executive Council to appoint chairperson from the Linguistic Centre itself in accordance with practice and law,' the court said while disposing of the plea. The V-C did not respond to the calls and texts seeking his comment. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
