Himachal Pradesh Government Reinstates Registrar, Sets Aside Nauni University VC's Order
The Himachal Pradesh government has overturned the order by Dr YS Parmar University Vice-Chancellor Dr HS Baweja that stripped Registrar Siddhartha Acharya of his powers. The Horticulture Secretary clarified that the Registrar's position is governed by the 1986 state university act and cannot be vacated or reassigned without lawful authority. The government restored Acharya's administrative and statutory powers, rejecting the VC's claims of misconduct. The Himachal Pradesh Administrative Services Association criticized the VC's order as unconstitutional and called for its immediate reversal.
