JNU campus (Express Photo by Tashi Tobgyal) THE DELHI High Court has quashed advertisements issued by Jawaharlal Nehru University in August 2019 with respect to appointments for two posts – of a professor and an associate professor – after ruling that the university has failed to prove that reservation rosters were correctly recast by it.
The order has been passed in a petition filed by two assistant professors of the university who challenged the advertisements contending that the post of associate professor meant for SC candidate at the Centre for Informal Sector & Labour Studies, School of Social Sciences, has been converted into an ST post and the post of professor meant for ST candidate at the Centre for Inner Asian Studies (Tibetan & Himalayan Studies), School of International Studies has been converted into an unreserved post. A division bench of the High Court in an interim order had earlier restrained the university from making any appointments to the two posts in question.
