After our report that GNLU Gandhinagar’s outgoing director Dr Bimal Patel had de facto stripped registrar Dr Thomas Mathew of most of his powers, the Ahmedabad Mirror has reported that Patel has now removed Mathew from the post.

Three months before the expiry of his term, GNLU Gandhinagar director Dr Bimal Patel had stripped GNLU’s registrar Thomas Mathew of most de-facto powers, allegedly in a bid to control the process to select Patel’s successor, according to a formal letter of complaint sent to the Gujarat high court and others.

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.

GNLU Gandhinagar’s administration allegedly accessed the private phone records of several students of the law school, after it suspected them of possessing marijuana on campus.
