Supreme Court Removes Derogatory Resume Order for Former NUJS VC
The Supreme Court removed a part of its earlier order that asked the former vice-chancellor of NUJS to include a judgment about sexual harassment allegations in his resume.
The VC, Nirmal Kanti Chakrabarti, had asked for this because the allegations were not proven, and the order was unfair.
The court agreed and removed the part of the order.
