Kolkata , Oct 3 : The West Bengal government informed the Calcutta High Court on Tuesday that students’ council elections in different state universities can't be held without the appointment of permanent vice-chancellors (VCs) there.
Currently, majority of the state universities are running with interim VCs appointed by Governor C.V. Ananda Bose, which has become an issue of major contention between the Raj Bhavan and the state secretariat with the latter accusing the Governor of making such appointments without the concurrence of the state education department. On Tuesday, a PIL demanding holding of students’ council elections immediately came up for hearing before the division bench of Chief Justice T.S. Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, during which the state government's counsel detailed the practical problems in conducting elections in the state universities which currently donot have any permanent VCs.
