SC refuses to interfere with selection of AMU V-C

February 13, 2017 14:58

The Supreme Court today refused to interfere with the process of selection and appointment of Vice Chancellor for the Aligarh Muslim University and dismissed a plea in this regard.

The apex court also declined to de-tag another plea in which the appointment of the current VC has been challenged from the petition in which AMU's status as a minority institution was held as unconstitutional by the Allahabad high court.

Before dismissing the plea challenging the ongoing process on appointment of the VC after the retirement of the incumbent, a bench comprising Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice N V Ramana took on record that the three shortlisted candidates fulfil the academic guidelines laid by UGC for the post.
