JAMMU, Nov 24: Granting relief to student leader and scholar Varinder Singh, the State High Court today directed the Head of Buddhist Studies Department in Jammu University to place the case of petitioner before Dean Research Studies who shall take steps to consider the case for being placed before Board of Research Studies (BORS) in accordance with the University statute.
The court also issued notice to Jammu University seeking reply on the CMA within two weeks.
As per the case, the petitioner Varinder Singh had qualified NET in the year 2012 and applied for enrollment of Ph D course before HoD Buddhist Studies by submitting his form on 17/12/2012. He had also deposited requisite fee, which was accepted by the respondents but the Registrar JU later on declared admission of the petitioner as well as some other candidates invalid. The petitioner represented his case and thereafter a meeting was held by DRC which decided to conduct the examination after deliberating the date and modalities of the registration course. The respondents conducted the exam for Pre Ph. D Course in which the petitioner was declared successful. The petitioner thereafter requested Dean Research Studies (DRS) for considering the synopsis in the earliest BORS but till date no action was taken there by putting the academic prospectus of petitioner to an irreparable loss and injuries.
