Tribhuvan University Service Commission Faces Scrutiny Over Deputy Professor Appointment
Summary
Questions have been raised over the appointment of a Deputy Professor in Social Studies at Tribhuvan University after allegations that forged experience documents were used to boost marks. The High Court, Patan, dismissed the writ for now, saying the matter is still under consideration by the TU Service Commission.
Key Points
- A writ petition at the High Court, Patan, alleges that Sudarshan Kadel was recommended for Deputy Professor using forged part-time teaching documents.
- Petitioner Tej Prasad Poudel says he topped the written exam but was pushed to the reserve list after illegal experience marks were added to Kadel's score.
- The TU Service Commission says the matter is still under internal investigation, and the court dismissed the writ on that basis.
- The dispute centers on whether the service certificate from Birendra Multiple Campus, Chitwan, was genuine and whether post-advertisement experience should have been counted.
