Allahabad High Court Orders KGMU Professor Reinstated After Termination Quashed
Dr Neetu Singh was an associate professor at King George’s Medical University.
The university had ended her employment after holding a departmental inquiry.
She challenged that decision in the Allahabad High Court.
The court said the inquiry did not follow the required rules.
