HC warrants against VC of Y.S. Parmar University
Shimla, May 22,
Himachal Pradesh High Court has taken a serious view of the non-compliance of its earlier orders by the authorities of Dr Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, and ordered issuance of bailable warrants against the Vice Chancellor and Registrar of the university.
The directions were passed by Justice Jiya Lal Bhardwaj while hearing Execution Petition No. 345 of 2026 titled Nek Ram versus Dr Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry on May 20.
According to the court order, the High Court had earlier directed on May 13 that if the judgment under execution was not complied with before the next date of hearing, the Vice Chancellor along with the Registrar of the respondent university should remain present before the court on May 20.
However, when the matter came up for hearing, neither the judgment had been complied with nor were the concerned officers present before the court.
