No progress in probe against PU VC annoys court

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court has expressed displeasure over no progress of investigations into allegations of harassment against the Punjab University vice chancellor.
Justice Ijazul Ahsan expressed these views while hearing a petition for suspension of VC Dr Mujahid Kamran during an inquiry against him. The judge said it was astonishing that no action had been taken on the application despite the passage of about three years since the allegations.
The judge was hearing an application of PU professor Zaid Ahmed, who stated that a committee was holding an inquiry against the VC on allegations of harassment by Khujista Rehan, lecturer at Punjab University Law College, without suspending him. He said the VC being functional on his post was affecting the inquiry as no progress had been made in last three years. He pointed out that in all such cases previously inquiries were held after suspending teachers but the same had not been followed in the case.
