Patna High Court stays professor's transfer, cites kidney ailment
A professor who teaches Hindi was asked to work at a different college far from his home.
The professor is very sick and has a serious kidney problem.
Doctors call this illness stage 5, which means it is very advanced.
Because of this, he needs urgent medical treatment.
The professor asked a court for help.
The court is called the Patna High Court.
The judge, Justice Harish Kumar, said the university did not even ask the professor if he agreed to move.
The judge stopped the transfer order for now.
He told the university to kindly think again about the professor's request.
The professor wants to work at a college closer to Patna so he can get treatment.
The Patna High Court stayed the June 20 deputation order concerning an associate professor at Patliputra University.
The professor, who teaches Hindi at M D College, Naubatpur, suffers from a stage-5 chronic kidney ailment and fragile health.
The court noted the deputation was ordered without seeking the professor's consent.
Justice Harish Kumar directed the vice chancellor of Patliputra University to sympathetically reconsider the professor's case.
The court observed on August 7 that the illness is terminal in nature and requires urgent treatment.
