NUJS Kolkata on Saturday suspended the administrative employee accused by a colleague of sexual harassment, who was due to file a written reply to an inquiry committee at the law school. The law school cited non-cooperation as the reason for suspension.
NUJS registrar Surojit Mukhopadhyay told The Telegraph that the suspension order was communicated to the accused by email on Saturday, because he had been absconding. He added that the staffer would remain suspended until the internal inquiry committee came up with a “firm resolution”.
The accused was not traceable by the police after the colleague accused him of sexual harassment, physical assault and criminal intimidation by threat of an acid attack. However, he had filed for anticipatory bail last week and his application will be heard by a magistrate today.
He had been on leave since the victim complained internally at NUJS, applying for an extension of his leave on 1 August. However, the administration had declined to grant the extension, as reported by Legally India, with vice chancellor Prof Ishwara Bhatt saying that the administration intended to hand him over to the police as soon as he showed up on campus.
The victim had first filed her complaint on 12 June, allegedly over a year after informally bringing the issue to Bhatt’s notice. After no internal hearing in her complaint at the law school for 43 days, she filed a criminal complaint at the Bidhannagar police station against the accused. Until Saturday’s suspension, the accused had only been asked to go on leave without pay.
NUJS was due to hold the first hearing in her complaint on 20 August.

Rightly said by you " Filthy campus and filthy administration" All what is happeneing in NUJS is not that has happened suddenly or it is not that it was happening for last few months.
The seed of all illegalities and harrassing and torturing woman faculties was taught by M.P. Singh in NUJS. At that time none of the Authority of NUJS raised their voice to STOP M.P.Singh. At the end the result is ending in sexual harrasmment of woman faculty.
Now when the sexual harrasmment was reported by TOI and media the NUJS registrar Surojit Mukhopadhyay has become active and issued the suspension order. What was he doing as NUJS registrar for last one year when this woman was repeatedly getting sexually harrased for 365 days?
Does he not feel ashamed of himself while writing a false letter dated 24.12.2012 to UGC? Does the VC of NUJS feels ashamed of himself when he also wrote a false letter to UGC dated 6th May 2013?
And now when matters are coming in public domain they show to the Country that action is been taken..... Shame to these people who protects illegalities and financial scam IN LEGAL INSTITUTION to ensure that they continue their service in NUJS and receive their pay packets.
What reply they will give to their own children when they will ask them : " Daddy - Why you wrote that false letter to UGC ? Daddy why the women faculties in NUJS were harrased AND YOU REMAINED SILENT?"
AN OPEN MESSAGE TO PROF. BHATT AND PROF SUROJIT MUKHOPADHYAY :
Prof. Bhatt and Prof. Surojit Mukhopadhyay the nation and the academics and students of NUJS is seeking a reply from both of you. Before it is too late for both of you say the truth now in an OPEN PRESS CONFERENCE
Quoting Jagdish:
Rightly said " Professor Bhat does not even have the spine to stand for a cause.."
Even NUJS registrar Surojit Mukhopadhyay and the Authority of NUJS does not even have the spine to stand for a cause...
All are now waiting when they will speak the truth in a OPEN PRESS CONFERENCE.
If they speak the truth then only it will be established that thay work to ensure a Legal atmosphere in in a Legal Institution of this Country - NUJS.
When that day will come ?
