The Executive Council of the Aligarh Muslim University reinstated Dr. Tanzeem Fatima, Lecturer, Department of Law pending the submission of final report with immediate effect.
The Executive Council has also included the charges made by Dr. Tanzeem Fatima and re-constituted the enquiry committee to complete the process of enquiry. The expanded committee will have Prof. C. P. S. Chauhan as convener in addition to existing member Prof. Mohd. Zubair Khan, Prof. Iqbal Pervez and Prof. (Mrs.) Arunima Lal. The committee included Prof. Ashraf Malik, Principal, J.N. Medical College and Prof. Zakia A. Siddiqui, Member, Women’s Cell as its additional members.
The Executive Council has approved the recommendation of enquiry report submitted by Enquiry Committee headed by Prof. (Mrs.) Hamida Ahmad. The Enquiry Committee has accepted that Dr. Tariq Islam, Reader, Department of Philosophy has now submitted an authenticated copy of his manuscript and proof of his possessing 56.8% marks. In the light of the Supreme Court’s observation that defendant has secured more than 55% marks and that after the degree having been awarded by the University to the defendant, nullifying the equivalence would be turning the clock back causing grave injury.
The Executive Council has approved the decision of the Vice Chancellor for termination of the services of Mr. Mohd. Ayyub, former Senior Laboratory Assistant (Stores), Department of Pathology, J. N. Medical College due to his frequent absence from the duty and leaving the station without sanction of leave and prior permission and also failing to submit his reply.
He has filed a writ petition in the Allahabad High Court against the orders of the Vice Chancellor. The High Court disposed off the aforesaid writ petition with the directive that the petition has an alternative remedy of filing an appeal against the order under Section 36-B of the AMU Act.
Considering the appeal filed by Mr. Mohd. Ayyub, the Executive Council has approved the decision of the Vice Chancellor.
After considering the draft proposal for amendments/additions in Statutes 16(3) for the conduct of meetings of the Executive Council, the EC approved the amendment that if the quorum is not present in adjourned meetings of the Executive Council within half an hour from the time appointed for holding meeting, the members present shall form a quorum and proceed with the agenda items.
