The Gujarat High Court has issued a notice to the Institute of Infrastructure Technology Research and Management following a petition filed by Dr. Ashutosh Mishra against the appointment of Dr. Bhrigu Nath Singh as the Director General of the institute. The petitioner then came to know Dr. Bhrigu Nath had joined as the Director General of the Respondent University, and thereafter, the petitioner also came to know about the details of the persons forming the search committee. The petitioner also came to know that one of the members of the said search committee was itself a member of the Respondent University, which was contrary to the guidelines issued by the University Grants Commission. Hence the petitioner contended that the appointment of Dr. Bhrigu Nath was directly in violation of the guidelines issued by the University Grants Commission. The petitioner prayed for the issuance of a writ of Quo Warranto or a writ like Quo Warranto or any other appropriate writ, holding that the appointment of Dr. Bhrigu Nath was no longer entitled to remain as Director General of the Respondent University as the said appointment violated Guidelines issued by University Grants Commission.
