Today, On 1st September, The Supreme Court today rescheduled the hearing on the West Bengal Vice Chancellors’ appointment matter to September 22, earlier fixed for September 26, to formalise resolved issues and set a date for remaining points in dispute.
The Supreme Court of India on Jan 8 granted more time to West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose for finalizing vice-chancellor appointments in state universities, following a prolonged rift with the TMC government. Amid positive developments, the court emphasized transparency and fairness in the process, assigning former CJI U.U. Lalit to oversee the Search Committees and resolve the ongoing controversy over 35 state university appointments. Earlier in November, the Supreme Court chose not to interfere in the appointment of vice-chancellors. This was after learning that a committee led by former Justice U.U. Lalit had already submitted its recommendations to the West Bengal Chief Minister-Mamata Banerjee.
