West Bengal Govt urged to approach Supreme Court against Governor

A collective of academicians including former Vice Chancellors on Friday urged the West Bengal government to approach the Supreme Court on the issue of Bills pending with the Governor including one Bill that lays down guidelines for a committee that selects Vice Chancellors of State Universities.

“We urge the Government of West Bengal to move the Supreme Court on the issue of Bills pending with the Governor and become an added party in cases filled by the State of Punjab and other States,” a press statement by The Educationist Forum said.

The Forum said that due to the inaction of the Chancellor/ Governor the search and selection committees for 31 Universities in West Bengal have been stalled.
