Delhi HC stays JNU professor Bimol Akoijam's termination over sexual harassment

In a significant legal development, the Delhi high court has intervened to temporarily suspend the termination of Jawaharlal Nehru University professor Angomcha Bimol Akoijam. Facing sexual harassment allegations from 11 female students filed in May, Akoijam has refuted the claims and is appealing his dismissal from October 9. An internal committee had suggested disciplinary measures after its investigation.
