PATNA: For the first time Bihar University Service Commission (BSUSC) on March 24 recommended the names of 116 principals in the state's constituent colleges, where stakes are always high for the position leading to ugly situation, as it happened in Pataliputra University (Patna) earlier this week.

However, their posting is yet to happen due to ongoing verification of records submitted by the candidates and other procedures involved, which may take some time. Some aggrieved parties have also moved the High court against the appointments, challenging the reservation formula.

"Once the verification from universities concerned is over, we will send it to the education department for carrying out postings," said Commission chairman Girish Choudhary.
