SC Upholds HC Verdict Setting Aside Re-Appointment Of Calcutta University VC

ABP News  

The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a Calcutta High Court verdict setting aside the re-appointment of Sonali Chakravarti Banerjee as vice-chancellor of Calcutta University. On September 13, the Calcutta High Court set aside the reappointment of Banerjee as vice-chancellor of Calcutta University, holding that the West Bengal government has no authority to do so as per provisions of the varsity's Act. Banerjee was appointed as vice-chancellor of Calcutta University on August 28, 2017, for four years and her term expired on August 27, 2021. Thereafter, a notification dated August 27, 2021, was issued under the signature of the special secretary of the West Bengal government's Higher Education Department, whereby Banerjee was reappointed as vice-chancellor of Calcutta University with effect from August 28, 2021, for four years.
