HC serves showcause notice to JU VC

JAHANGIRNAGAR UNIVERSITY, June 3: The High Court on Thursday ordered Prof. Sharif Enamul Kabir, Vice Chancellor of Jahangirnagar University, and Mr Abu Bakar Siddique, Acting Registrar of JU, to appear before the Court on 10 June and show cause as to why proceedings for contempt of Court should not be drawn up against them, reports UNB.
The orders were issued in a petition filed by Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) against JU officials for violating the provisions of the High Court''s Directives on Sexual Harassment Guidelines (DSHG).
Under Clause 8(a) and 10(iii) of the DSHG, the
concerned authorities have to keep the full identity of a complainant under secrecy until the allegation is proved.
But authorities of JU have violated the rules by publishing an advertisement signed by JU Registrar, in several national newspapers on 27 April 2010, referring to the name of the complainant. This is while an investigation is being currently conducted into allegations of sexual harassment against a university teacher by a five-member Complaints Committee headed by a senior woman teacher of the University.
ASK filed a petition to the High Court in this regard on June 2.
