HNLU Raipur’s chancellor has appointed retired high court judge Justice CB Bajpayee as interim vice chancellor, following the resignation of Prof Sukh Pal Singh in the face of student strikes.
Bajpayee talked to the student bar association (SBA) office holders this evening, telling them that he would “work for the best interest of the students of the university”, according to a statement by students.
Students were “delighted with the positive approach of the newly appointed” VC.
The appointment is only temporary, and a full search committee for a permanent VC would be constituted in due course.
Bajpayee is the second acting VC in as many months, following Ravi Shankar Sharma, the Chhattisgarh state’s law department principal secretary, who had taken over after Singh’s first removal from HNLU in late August.

Some decorum and respect or have they forgotten all etiquette?
These guys want jobs at top law firms??
Worst part is that you'll most probably be accused of being elitist or some other trendy buzzword.
Even though a decent suit of clothing (i.e. a sober shirt and a similar pair of trousers) would've cost the same if not less than their shorts, jeans and T shirts.
Before the concern trolling begins with gems such as "what about the climate?"etc it would've been even better if a simple kurta pyjama was worn. Or dhoti too.

Their handsome aura would've made every girl swoon.
Why do you think there's no women in the Sena ?
They can't handle all the heat/sexual tension.
That was why the comment 1.1.1.1 @ 04 Oct 18, 23:49 was made.
You are correct in stating that clothes do not equate respect, but there is definitely a difference in which students ready themselves for the two differently placed groups spoken of by the OP.

Here are my predictions:
NLUD - Paramjit Jaswal from RGNUL (formerly HNLU)
NUJS - OV Nandimath from NLSIU
HNLU - Sairam Bhat from NLSIU
CNLU - Manoj Sinha from ILI Delhi (formerly NUJS)
NLU Ranchi - V Nagaraj from NLSIU
Hasn't Manoj Sinha said no to NUJS wanting to stay in the national capital?
NUJS seems set to go to a Bengali individual.
Jaswal is an odds-on favorite for the Delhi job. Ranbir Singh has a penchant for setting-up a close acquaintance to follow him. Partly so that the many grey-areas of his tenure are left untouched.
Doubtful that MKS will leave ILI. He has done a good turnaround of ILI and was keen on NUJS. But the AG and interim VC ensured that he did not return as VC NUJS. There are are powerful elements in the state government and HC who are obsessed with having one of their stooges adorn the VC and Registrar position here. Reportedly the AG wants the infamous former Registrar SCM to come back in and is abusing his position in the government and in NUJS statutory bodies to ensure that. He also has the support of the interim VC and his faculty allies aka Justice League.
Interestingly, this group has repeatedly resisted moves to implement the Justice PN Sinha Inquiry report which was commissioned by the Calcutta HC and indicted SCM and other Univ officials. While the former VC, PIB and his allies likely had their reasons to bury the Inquiry Report, it is ominous that the interim VC and his friends are indulging in similar tactics.
NUJS is a cautionary tale for HNLU and other NLUs. I would only hope and wish that HNLU doesn't suffer the same run as NUJS. Kian, you should do a story on how NLU Ranchi and CNLU are doing with their judge-led administrations. At NUJS, the following are lobbying for VC position - Gangotri Chakraborty, Manik Chakraborty, IG Ahmed, SS Chatterjee, NK Chakraborty, Rathin Banerji and few other Bengalis who are basically political turncoats. It will be difficult for NUJS to attract good candidates when the interim VC and AG are deliberately letting NUJS wallow in mess. Reportedly, the interim VC is playing coy and keen to be made permanent. This can become inevitable if the contenders are the ones named above.
However, there is a chance that MPS may look to push Dr Kamala Sankaran; RS lobby will go for Vijender Kumar (although he may go for the NLU in Uttarakhand) or may lob GS Bajpai here; the VR lobby may want to unload some from its stock at NLS (they are becoming Professor heavy at NLS). I agree Nandimath is unlikely to move to Kolkata and much rather remain Registrar NLS. If pushed hard he just may but that will depend on a variety of factors that presently look very improbable.
NLU Ranchi may just see a VC with ties to Bengal. VR and FM lobbies will battle it out for CNLU. RS lobby may not be too keen there unless joined in by MPS lobby who have some overlaps. Of course there is is the NRMM lobby which is adept at alliance making. Kian do you have information on what is happening at MNLU Mumbai? It will be interesting to know who all had applied there for VC position and whether the selection is finally done.
Also having being denied a second term at MNLU Mumbai and literally asked to leave by the authorities there, BPP may coax NRMM to have him installed in CNLU, NLU Ranchi or HNLU. He would have very much wanted NUJS but his previous attempts have not gone down well. May just try again and bring back his dear comrade Dr SAK who recently ran away to MNLU Mumbai.

Lawyers with 10PQE are better equipped to teach students.
Specially, a majority of the assistant professors we see at law schools are no better than second year law students
