Time flies. NKC's tenure just has a few months left. Old timers will recall how his appointment was shadily done. The question is, will we see a repeat? Will Chandrachud play an active role?
NKC will only have 6 months left before he turns 70 once his tenure ends. At the most, he can get an extension for that period. While he has several faults of his own, it is also true that he would be leaving the place better in terms of publication, research, infra and collaborations than he had found it. One wishes he had been stronger in terms of opposition to state government interference though, especially that done through a retired HC judge in the EC who is a state stooge.
I think logically speaking, it should be Dr Shameek Sen and no one else. He has both the credibility as an academician and goodwill as a student friendly faculty to be on the coveted post. He is young, humble, honest and a good human being. If the authorities are reading this and want to have someone who should be given a long run considering his age, they should not look anywhere else by Dr Sen.
No offenses to the other gentlemen proposed by fellow commentators, I am sure they must be good, but for this job and for the time being Dr Sen is the best bet.
Nujs has no future. From Menon, Mitra and MP Singh, the place goes to NKC. Most of good faculty left. Its on way to become Hazra law college. Sad for alumni and we'll wishers.
Sudhir will seek an extension for sure. He won't come anywhere near NUJS. People here don't like dictatorial VCs. His room was bombed with crackers the last time he was here and tried to pull his shenanigans. NUJS students aren't meek and docile like NLSIU people.
