JASPAL SINGH, WHOSE OPINION WAS SOUGHT BY THE HIGHER EDU DEPT, HAD WARNED AGAINST IGNORING UGC NORMS, SAYING THAT IT WOULD NOT WITHSTAND JUDICIAL SCRUTINY

In a stinging indictment of the recruitment exercise carried out by the then Charanjit Singh Channi-led Congress in the run-up to the 2022 Punjab assembly polls, the Supreme Court, on July 18, held the selection was not just arbitrary but also appeared driven by ‘narrow political gains’ aimed at garnering electoral advantage.
