MDU Rohtak Reinstates Professor Naseeb Singh Gill After Suspension Revocation
In a significant administrative move, Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) in Rohtak has officially revoked the suspension of Prof Naseeb Singh Gill from the department of computer science and applications. The decision, which was approved on Monday by vice-chancellor Somnath Sachdeva and formally notified by registrar Krishan Kant, allows Prof Gill to resume his academic and professional duties with immediate effect.
Official Order Declares Suspension Void Ab Initio
According to the official order issued by the university administration, the suspension that was originally imposed on February 17 has been declared void ab initio, meaning it is considered invalid from the outset. The revocation was made after thorough due consideration and in strict adherence to the established rules and procedures of the institution.
The order has been circulated to key university officials for information and necessary action, including:
- The head of the department of computer science and applications
- The finance officer
- The offices of the vice chancellor, registrar, and Deputy Academic Advisor (DAA)
Relevant administrative branches have been directed to update all official records to accurately reflect Prof Gill's reinstatement, ensuring that his status is properly documented across university systems.
Background and Context of the Suspension
The suspension of Prof Gill was part of a broader administrative action taken ahead of the 304th meeting of the university's executive council. On February 17, both registrar Krishan Kant and Prof Gill were placed under suspension. Notably, registrar Kant was reinstated the very next day by the Haryana governor, who also serves as the chancellor of MDU, highlighting the swift resolution in his case.
The recent decision to revoke Prof Gill's suspension has reportedly been met with positive reception from teachers and staff members at the university, who have welcomed the move as a step towards normalizing academic operations and upholding procedural fairness.
This development underscores the university's commitment to following due process in administrative matters, while also addressing the concerns raised within the academic community. The reinstatement allows Prof Gill to continue his contributions to the computer science department, which is crucial for maintaining educational standards and research initiatives at MDU Rohtak.
