The position was advertised on August 2021. Now it is being re-advertised. Several questions arise:
1. Why was it re-advertised? That too after so long?
2. Who will be on the selection panel?
3. The first Chair occupant was Upendra Baxi (when Chimni was VC). Then former Supreme Court Justice Ruma Pal and Prof Uday Raj Rai (when MP Singh was VC). Then former Chief Justice of India Althmas Kabir (during the transition from Singh to Bhat) and then former Supreme Court Justice Tarun Chatterjee (a questionable appointment, but nevertheless a former SC judge).Will an illustrious persons like Baxi or Justice Pal will once again occupy the Chair, or whether it will go to an underserving person handpicked by the TMC.
