The Calcutta high court is hearing a writ petition by NUJS Kolkata registrar Surajit Mukhopadhyay against his suspension by vice chancellor Prof Ishwara Bhat, alleging bias and requesting reinstatement.
Mukhopadaya was suspended last month after an inquiry committee report found facts “indicative of financial mismanagement of funds by the university”, with Bhat forming a disciplinary committee to inquire into the allegations.
The case is understood to have been heard before Justice Dipankar Datta.
Bhatt confirmed that the next hearing was scheduled for this Friday, but he was not available for further comment at the time of going to press.
Mukhopadhyay was not reachable on his mobile phone when Legally India attempted to contact him for comment.

Agree. In fact, Kian should dig deeper and highlight the poor quality of faculty and infra, especially after the observations our Prime Minister recently made about the importance of faculty. For some strange (and suspicious) reason, he has been treating certain colleges as holy cows and not doing an analysis on how crappy the faculty is. Is Kian afraid that NLU Delhi will overtake the older colleges? If Kian thinks that is too subjective, then there are objective ways of assessing faculty quality done the world over, e.g. whether they have published in leading journals.
I would like to know what Kian thinks of this article.

If Kian does not have the guts, then at least ask an eminent scholar to write a guest article.
You can make a request and it is for Kian to decide whether he would like to oblige. I don't understand why people make a fool of themselves by making your kind of comments which blame Kian for inaction or lack of guts!

Well said bhai. I agree.
As to this stupid impression that a registrar filing a case against his university is newsworthy, hundreds of Army/Navy/IAS/IPS/Bank service officers at given moment have filed cases against the Govt for all kinds of reasons ranging from denial of promotion to transfer to suspension to compulsory waiting. It is quite the norm in public sector to file cases so that in itself means nothing.

Dear Guest
Files and papers missing from NUJS is not a new thing. Please read the BCI report published by LI- BCI has also reported that files are found to be missing in NUJS.. Even letters are missing.... Surojit Mukhapadhyay was Registrar at that time when BCI came for investigation in NUJS. Hope Justice Dipankar Dutta will take a note of this report
