GNLU Gandhinagar director Bimal Patel and registrar Dr Thomas Mathew appeared before the Gujarat high court today to comply with its 19 February order, following Patel’s non-compliance with two previous orders of the high court.
As we had reported yesterday, the high court had chastised Patel in its order that “no one is above the law” and had asked him to appear in person before it at 11am today in the writ brought by GNLU’s accounts officer Manoj Patel, against his allegedly improper termination.
The reason for the order of personal appearance was that Patel has asked the accounts officer to proceed on immediate leave with pay despite orders from the high court that he should allow the accounts officer to continue in his employment while the writ was pending.
According to a source present in court today, Patel and the registrar appeared for a few minutes today and informed the court that they had allowed the accounts officer to continue in his employment as directed by the high court.
The case would next be heard on 7 March.
Comments
This present matter is minor internal matter. At least try and do criticism of important thing like placement, moot court, campus infrastructure or faculty achievement but that you cannot do because under leadership of Prof Patel GNLU is playing a leading role in all this.
You will also not mention that Prof Patel is regarded as eminent jurist and is only VC among the NLUs with PhD from a top foreign university. Even Prof Madhava Menon or Prof Ranbir Singh do not have this achievement. Only Prof Upendra Baxi and Prof Mohan Gopal have got it.
If this Bimal Patel is an eminent jurist, I dare you to share the citations of his publications!!
the generals at ICT to keep a close watch on traffic to this site from cyberroam IDs.
This is reliably learnt from a great friend in the administration.
This guy was the registrar of a library before fate brought him to GNLU. I have to give him one thing, he always has luck on his side.
Thomas Mathew used to be a fair academician. But greed and lust for power have made him mr bimal Patel's manfriday.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. This adage has never been more appropriate than in the case of patel and Mathew.
These two have destroyed the careers of innumerable students and teachers. Anyone who doesn't fall in line, must face the axe.
As a student, I had great respect for mr patel and thomas Mathew bht their conduct, which over and above being illegal and arrogant, is downright inhumane and insensitive, has led me to lose all respect for them.
And as far as the first comment in this thread goes, let's not get into how mr bimal patel got his phd. That's one can of worms you wouldnt want to open.
Really? Then explain this:
1. His only publication is in the Canadian Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences
https://www.gnlu.ac.in/faculty-detail.php?staffId=572.
2. This journal features in a list of fraudulent and predatory journals:

Kian and legally india team please investigate the [...] campus construction. That's the taxpayer's money [...].
The larger point here is that most NLUs suffer from incompetent and corrupt administration. They are insecure and resentful of the students they teach, so much so that it leads to NLU alumni deliberate not being hired. To avoid scrutiny, they only hire LLM and PhD alumni of NLUs (who are usually of very poor quality) instead of BALLB alumni. They then go around telling their governing body that they are "actively recruiting alumni". In fact, this is why so many good NLU alumni are flooding Jindal, despite weak students and a horrible location in Haryana.
Instead of getting paranoid about the reputation of whichever NLU we are from, let us unite and put pressure for an overhaul of NLU administration.
Under-qualified, poor language skills, lack of any academic achievement, always insecure and (in some cases) morally bankrupt as well.
Imagine someone as useless as Bimal Patel or SS Singh (of NLIU) or that nose digging Bhat from NUJS trying to present a paper at a conference and making a complete fool of themselves!!
Every time I open legally india and see this smug, capricious, dark, develish smile on this man's face, I feel like punching a hole in my computer screen.

1. Bad faculty and corruption/nepotism in hiring faculty
2. Corrupt and insensitive administration (embezzlement of funds, red tape, moral policing etc)
3. Lack of alumni representation in governing body (unlike IIMs)
4. Lack of support to student initiatives and ideas
