The Delhi High Court has restrained the heads of nine JNU centres from taking any “major decisions” and said that their appointment by the varsity's Vice Chancellor was prima facie without any authority.
A bench headed by Justice Rajiv Shakdher stated that the Vice Chancellor is not vested with the power to appoint Chairpersons of Centres or Special Centres as the JNU statute confers the power of appointment on the Executive Council.
The bench, also comprising Justice Talwant Singh, was dealing with an appeal against a Single-Judge order which had refused to grant a stay on the appointments on a petition by Professor Atul Sood.
