KVS Sarma suddenly subbed for Nalsar registrar Sridhar in VC vacuum

Prof Sridhar registers surprise
Prof Sridhar registers surprise
Exclusive: Nalsar Hyderabad registrar Dr Madabhushi Sridhar Acharyulu will be replaced as registrar by Nalsar professor KVS Sarma, Sridhar was told by the college’s vice chancellor’s (VC) office today. The college’s new VC is yet to take up the reins.

Sridhar told Legally India that he had received communication around 1:00pm today from the VC’s office that his appointment as registrar had been revoked by the chancellor.

He said that the development was sudden and reasons were not supplied to him.

Sarma is a “subject expert” who selects professors at Nalsar and several other law colleges, and is also a member of the planning board, general council and academic council at Nalsar.

Outgoing Nalsar VC Prof Veer Singh, who is set to join the Chandigarh Judicial Academy shortly, and Sarma were not reachable for comment.

The Nalsar Act, which in Section 18 lays down the procedure for the appointment of registrar, does not appear to specify a procedure for ending registrars’ appointments.

Newly-appointed Nalsar VC Prof Faizan Mustafa, who is presently NLU Cuttack in Orissa (NLUO) VC, is not yet involved in Nalsar’s internal functioning until he assumes his post at the university, according to a source close to NLUO.

The source said that it was not yet decided whether Mustafa would be able take up Nalsar office from 1 April, as originally scheduled.

Sridhar and Sharma were among the several faculty members whose names appeared in last year’s judges’ committee report on Nalsar, several paragraphs, alongwith a downloadable copy, of which were reproduced by Legally India, earlier this year.

LI, are you obsessed with NALSAR? You guys are doing a good job the legal community but we don't really want to know if any faculty in NALSAR had a stomach upset..time to spare, huh?

Dear Prachi,

NALSAR has had its share. Please turn to the newer law schools. You'll unearth a pandora's box. Turn to NLU, Orissa. There is much to be uncovered.

Indeed. But you must comment even on the trivial "news" items about NALSAR. You, sir, sure do care.

First of all I do not even know why I am commenting.
The reputation and class this Hyderabad college has is too prominent.

NALSAR is undoubtedly the best and we do not want 'Amused' to love it. So people are requested to keep their views to themselves. I am sure you are from some tier 3 Law school. Or may be you are a law graduate who does not even match our first years in terms of 'brains' which you just proved you do not have. :D

@Amused: I am sure NALSAR is every law students dream but sometimes it proves to be sour grapes as it did in your case.

Our first years can pimp any tier two or three grade law college like pulp. Hooda, Kshitij Goyal, Banka Babu, Neotia, Anna, Baliga and International Society Stud can take them down single handedly.

Whatever happened to the time when being humble was a quality and pehalwans were in the akhada, not the law school.

LI should not waste much time about this routine administrative news. It is well within the powers of the Chancellor and VC to make effective appointments to various administrative posts. The registrar hold the post according to the pleasure of the VC. Prof. Veer Singh is fully right and my hearty congrats to VC sir and Registrar sir

It is sad that people are taking digs at NALSAR. It is a top institution and no one doubts that. My point is that the insignificant news items (my personal opinion) do get irritating smtyms..

Hate to break it to you buddy but a lot of us are of the opinion that it is no longer the 'top institution'. The standards have fallen.

Kian and team are getting really slow. this was reported hours after it happened, unlike the previous fiasco/reporting frenzy which Kian and co. gave a blow by blow account of... looks like your sources in Nalsar need a little incentive, Kian!!!
just for kicks- NUJS rocks!!!

Am from NLIU, and non of us mind a little bit of mud slinging.. but and even I find it a little odd that LI is reporting something like this, especially at a time when its relationship with NALSAR is a little volatile.. that is not to say that real news at NALSAR should not b reported, but this just doesn't cut it.. is in poor taste.. NLIU has also had its share of controversy and this is really a case of stepping on someone who is already down..

We want Prof. Sridhar BACK. He is one of the best Registrars we have had. Its a pity that Justice Madan lokur over turned the Ex Chief Justice's order like this.

Prachi has LI declared war against Nalsar? Sensationalizing this crap piece of news also. Damn you guys have loads of time. Why this Kolaveri Di???

Why don't you go interview Mr. Mustafa (sounds like a Star Wars planet..if you guys have seen Star Wars) and ask him about the great plans he has for Nalsar. Will he be snubbing the students like the previous VCs and join hands with the great & oh so brilliant faculty members like VK and continue to screw the happiness of the students or listen to the grievance of the students and act reasonably?

Just helping you out with certain questions you might want to ask him. You are welcome by the way.

LI is just bringing out things in the open. This is their duty and bringing things out in the open will only benefit NALSAR. We are rankend No. 1, so obviously our every step will be noticed whether good or bad. Stop bugging LI for reporting as it has reported all the nice things about NALSAR too like recruitment and MPL wins.

Oh my my, NALSAR is NO. 1 and MPL and recruitment blah blah..u sound like a sissy. We surely want to know the necessary stuff and detest irresponsible journalism (sensationalising anything which hardly qualifies as a news), not just who sneezed at any damn law school. Only because of immature comments like yours, people start "my law school best" comments. And for the record NLSIU is No.1 (just for this last time) and the world knows it. RIP!!

Nalsar may well be a great place. I personally believe it is very good, but that has nothing to do with the singleminded focus on Nalsar around here. Moot results haven't been updated for ages but your Registrar changing is breaking news. Uh?

Your view on this is analogous to someone saying that just because Harish Salve is a great man, unusual variations in his bowel movements must be recorded in the news.

Nalsar may well be great, but no one cares about minor administrative changes.

Congrats to LI for boldly exposing this corrupt college which is a hotbed of scams. LI has shown it cannot be bought like India Today an Outlook. Just ignore the commments by the NALSAR fools. They probably paid money and got into NALSAR and are worried that LI will now expose them.

I don't understand you buggers man, some shit happens in NALSAR and you publish it before half of our own people know, and when we win the goddamn oxford media law moot, your eye of sauron deserts you.

It takes you about 6 seconds to update about what our registrar is doing. Where is the update about Nalsar winning the Oxford Media Law Moot, LI?

I like your senses of humour #23 and #24.

In any case, the moot concluded late yesterday and we have official organiser confirmation now of the full results.

You will appreciate that we can not publish a story without organiser confirmation of all results, and we generally try to get quotes from winners, which takes a while particularly when competitors are abroad.

The latest news are updated on our MPL Facebook page- please follow this for the latest MPL breaking news as they come in: http://www.facebook.com/mooting.in

So let me get this straight.

You can publish a story about a law college at the drop of a hat and evidently based on a lot of unconfirmed information (at least through official channels). But you can't publish a story about a moot without speaking to the organizers even if several law students who participated in the moot provide the results?

Interesting.

Dear Troll,

We have published the fact of Nalsar winning the Oxford Moot on the MPL Facebook page and at the bottom of our latest MPL update. We've had confirmation from the organisers.

Now we are trying to get some quotes from the winners so they can tell us about the experience, as we've been doing with most MPL stories this year.

Why so worried?

Best wishes

Kian,

Kindly report this:

She is the only LLM candidate ever to have got Gates Cambridge Scholarship. This scholarship is as big as Rhodes Scholarship. I suppose it definately deserves a story in LI.
