WPA/10583/2024 (before Justice Kaushik Chanda pertaining to WBNUJS/VC inaction on SH matter)
WPA/3644/2024 (before Justice Jay Sengupta pertaining to police inaction on the SH issue)
Very likely both will come up for hearing this week.
The writ filed by a former Accounts Officer pertaining to leave encashment (following his retirement) was disposed in March 2024. Justice Kaushik Chanda in WPA 2599/2024 directed WBNUJS to take a decision concerning the representation made by the ex-AO to NKC, who was accused of inaction, non-communication and stonewalling. Ironic, because that is what the AO used to do as well!
The ex-AR Admin matter concerning SH as well is in limbo following the transfer of the concerned judge to Telangana HC. That's WPA/16208/2019. Will be interesting if he were to return to campus.
Interesting times. What is the SJA doing?
If the complainant has gone to Cal HC (do we have a confirmation?) she knows the consequences of being proven false. Does this mean that NKC is continuing what got hushed in Cal Univ and KIIT Law?
Are the EC members aware of the latest salvo by AP?

Or is AP also hoping to secure Cal HC intervention and have a retired judge conduct an inquiry just like in GNLU or even in NUJS (Justice PN Sinha Inquiry)?
The police case from what I hear has also gone to the High Court.
Yes the VC has got an extension so the matter will now be decided at the High Court.
In 2019, the EC led by KD had terminated the services of the ex-AR Admin after allowing him due opportunity to be heard. The ex-AR Admin had sent in his written representation via a certain Assistant Prof. Following the termination of services, the ex-AR Admin went to Cal HC and Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya was hearing the matter before her transfer to Telangana HC.
In 2024, the aforementioned teach (now an Associate Prof) complained to the Chancellor and LCC Barasat against the VC. Apparently she also lodged a FIR too and the police queried the Registrar and two associate profs. Are you telling me that the complainant has now gone to the Cal HC?
The EC of NUJS should take a call on this matter. In any case now the case has gone to the Calcutta high court at Kolkata. Just wait and watch what the court does on this issue.
Even then, there was a lot of foot-dragging by the police; PIB kept on with dilatory tactics till the media picked up the issue.
Look at how things are playing out in GNLU. As expected, the university is trying its best to cover up institutional complicity. JGLU also went through a similar loop.

Both the Associate Professor and the PA should take note of this for their respective cases.
The complainant could do real damage if she went on social media I suppose but she chose not to
I suppose she would be just given what she wants and she will back off
P.S. Don't say NLS. The VC has f'd up that place bad.
NKC will call for EC soon after the LS election dates are announced. He is also hoping that Westin will help him impress the powers that be.
PIB not involved in this case boss
All this confusion wouldn't have happened had the SJA ensured (like its predecessors) had ensured that all EC etc records were made available online by the university/VC.

they call their alcove the 'power alcove' losers
1. ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ complaint filed against VC
2. Its not by a student but by a ▮▮▮ faculty member ▮▮▮
3. Faculty member ▮▮▮
Currently the rumour spread by this thread is that a law student has filed said complaint which is not true
Let the truth prevail
This comment is not disclosing any identity of alleged victim so there is no legal reason to censor this
Friends of the then ICC Chair (well networked with NGOs) are Chairs of LCCs in Barasat, Kolkata etc. May explain why the Associate Prof skipped ICC and went to LCC.
But what about the original query posed here? Did the Associate Professor actually file an FIR against NKC or is it just the complaint to the LCC Barasat?
