Aligarh, March 14: The crucial annual meeting of the Aligarh Muslim University court for electing the varsity’s next chancellor, pro-chancellor and honorary treasurer, scheduled for March 28 has been postponed, according to a varsity notification.
An influential section of the AMU court and the AMU Teachers Association had opposed the timing of the meeting on the ground that “senior varsity officials including vice chancellor P K Abdul Azis, who are facing inquiry for alleged financial irregularities, were trying to manage the election to safeguard their personal interests”.
The AMU administration had earlier indicated that they would favour a third term as chancellor for the present incumbent former Chief Justice of India A M Ahmadi.
On why the meeting was postponed, AMU official spokesman Rahat Abrar said there was nothing unusual about this postponement.
