GNLU director Bimal Patel appointed to 21st Law Commission [while still not absolved of HC's adverse remarks]

GNLU Gandhinagar director Bimal Patel is now a member of the Law Commission of India, reported Live Law.

Patel confirmed to Live Law that he has been appointed as a part-time member of the commission, and said: “It would be my earnest endeavour to make a very meaningful contribution to the realization of the aims and objectives of the 21st Law Commission of India.”

His Wikipedia page states: “The Government of India appointed has also recently appointed him as a member of the 21st Law Commission of India with Justice Balbir Singh Chauhan, retired Judge of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India as its chairperson.”

The Gujarat high court recorded adverse observations against Patel in May, noting that GNLU had turned into an oligarchy with little regard for the human rights of its students, under Patel and certain other staff members.

The judgment in GNLU's appeal against the May order has been reserved.
