Delhi High Court Stays JNU Professor Akoijam's Dismissal Over Harassment Allegations
The Delhi High Court has stayed Jawaharlal Nehru University's decision to dismiss professor and Manipur MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam over sexual harassment allegations, citing the lack of a show-cause notice and personal hearing before imposing dismissal. The court granted interim relief on November 2 and scheduled the next hearing for January 25. JNU argued the dismissal followed University Grants Commission regulations, while the court emphasized procedural fairness in disciplinary actions.
