Shillong, Nov 23: Keeping in view ongoing inquiries into allegations of mismanagement in the strike-hit North Eastern Hill University (NEHU), the Meghalaya High Court decided to review the situation further before issuing any directive.
The High Court on Friday adjourned the matter till December 6, mentioning that the 15-day period for submission of report by the enquiry committee constituted by Ministry of Education to probe into allegations against vice-chancellor PS Shukla and administrative irregularities will expire on November 29.
Hearing a PIL on the NEHU crisis, Chief justice IP Mukherji and justice B Bhattacharjee said, “We think that at this stage, it would be fit and proper for this Court to wait for the report of the committee, its recommendations and any ‘corrective actions’ if any that may be recommended by the committee and taken by the University.”
The court also noted with satisfaction that the hunger strike by a section of NEHU students has been called off after the pronouncement of its order on November 20.
