Justice K Lakshman of the Telangana High Court on Thursday dismissed a writ petition filed in connection with the selection of the Vice Chancellor NALSAR to the premier National Law institution in the city. Mahesh Mamindla filed a writ petition complaining that the nomination of Prof. Upendra Baxi to the selection committee was contradictory to law.
He sought for declaration to the said effect and reconstitution of the
committee for effective selection of the Vice Chancellor. Justice Lakshman while dismissing the petition ruled that the petition warrants dismissal as any result would affect Prof. Upendra Baxi and the petitioner had failed to make him party to the writ petition. Justice Lakshman also pointed out that the stated disqualification of being connected to the University also did not apply to the professor.
