‘Restore her services': Haryana Teachers' body terms varsity professor's termination ‘illegal'
An indefinite dharna by Professor Monika Malik, former dean of the Department of Law, Central University of Haryana (CUH), Mahendragarh district, against the university authorities since October 16 last year over issues related to her seniority and selection process, among others, entered the 229th day on Sunday. Amidst this academic conflict between Malik and the CUH, the authorities dismissed her on May 7 and another professor, alleging their selection process was a 'procedural and regulatory violation'. Referring to a resolution of its executive council, the CUH issued a notification on May 7, saying it had 'processed further after hearing out both the employees in question and giving them the opportunity to represent their cases before the vice-chancellor/ executive council'. Discontinuing their services, the university claimed 'the eligibility criteria was not uniformly or lawfully applied across the candidates'. On Friday, a delegation of the Haryana Federation of University and College Teachers' Organization (HFUCTO) visited the CUH and submitted a memorandum to CUH Vice-Chancellor Tankeshwar Kumar, seeking the restoration of Malik's services. Claiming that the CUH authorities terminated her services 'illegally' without any basis or an enquiry rather than redressing Malik's grievances, the HFUCTO said: 'Professor Monika (Malik) had been serving in the CUH since December 27, 2019. She was promoted to the Professor post with effect from December 27, 2022. She is a confirmed employee, and her services can only be terminated by following the procedure laid down under Section 14 of the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965, applicable to the employee of the CUH… First, there is no basis or ground to terminate her services. Second, no enquiry has been conducted as contemplated in the CCS (CCA) Rules.'

The Zonal Education Officer contributed Rs 25,000. Demonstrating remarkable dedication, Malik also provided floor matting for the classrooms and a portion of the school grounds, ensuring that students wouldn't have to sit on the hard floor.
