Bhopal/Jabalpur: 27.11.2021
A single-judge bench of the Madhya Pradesh high court asked the state government to explain under what circumstances departmental inquiry was initiated against two professors of Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College, Jabalpur; and why faculty junior to them have been included in the probe panel?
Dr Ashok Sahu and Dr Tripti Gupta, both professors at Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College, in their petition before the high court said that they were appointed to the post of assistant professor in the year 2007 and 2008 respectively.
They alleged that under political pressure, a departmental inquiry was ordered against them by the dean of the medical college.
They told the court that they didn't know that the panel constituted for the inquiry has several faculty members of the college, who are junior to them.
Only after they sought to know about members of the inquiry committee did they come to know that several members of the committee were junior to them. They gave an application to the dean and the chief of the inquiry committee that having faculty junior to them in the committee was illegal, but they didn't pay heed to their argument.
It was then that they moved the court for justice. Advocates Pankaj Dubey, Akshay Khandelwal and Ritika Gupta appeared in the court for the petitioners.
