HC questions legality of JU VC appointment


FT ONLINE

The High Court has issued a rule asking why appointing Prof Farzana Islam as vice chancellor of Jahangirnagar University (JU) should not be declared illegal.

The HC bench of Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed and Justice Md Salim came up with the rule on Monday.

The JU, its vice chancellor and pro-vice chancellor, secretary and deputy secretary to the higher education division of the Education Ministry have been made respondents to the rule.

JU former VC Sharif Enamul Kabir and Its Drama department teacher Prof Lutfar Rahman filed the petition challenging the legality of appointing Farzana Islam as VC of the university.

The petition said according to the JU act-1973, a three-member VC panel had to be nominated through the votes of its senate members for appointing its VC.

But the education ministry did not follow the protocol while appointing Prof Farzana Islam as the VC. Therefore her appointment is illegal.
