Row over appointment of college Principal
Chandigarh, July 8 The government appointed Dr Ashwani Kumar Principal of the college on July 4. However, upset over the decision of the state government in this regard, a number of doctors, who claimed to be senior to Dr Ashwani Kumar, have served legal notices on the government challenging its decision. In his legal notice served on the government, Dr Parveen Kumar Rishi, who is a professor in the college, has stated he is senior to Dr Ashwani Kumar. The Principal Secretary, Medical Education, had given a personal hearing to five professors of the college on May 30 for the fixation of their seniority, he adds. And the government has not finalised the seniority yet. However, it has appointed the Principal ignoring their claims. Dr Rishi has claimed that Dr Ashwani Kumar is junior to three professors in the college. He has urged the government to finalise the seniority of all professors in the college within 10 days and cancel the appointment of Dr Ashwani Kumar as Principal.

Judges’ appointments: Bhardwaj opposes panel suggestion
Chandigarh, July 8 Interacting with mediapersons here, Mr Bhardwaj, while siding with the committee's view that appointments in higher judiciary are delayed at the level of the judiciary itself, said junking the present system, where the collegium of Judges recommended names for elevation to the Bench of the HCs and the Supreme Court, could not be the answer to the problem. The panel has proposed that the pre-1993 system, when the Chief Ministers of the states too had a say in selection of Judges, should be re-introduced. This, the committee said, would streamline the system of appointment of Judges and also make it more transparent. "We are aware of the problems. Names (for appointment) are not coming from the judiciary side. There is not even a single case pending with my ministry. But, the present system can't be just given up," the minister said.
