<h1>Former Jadavpur University Vice-Chancellor Challenges Removal, Claims Convocation Followed Proper Procedures Despite Governor's Allegations</h1> Former Jadavpur University interim Vice-Chancellor Prof. Bhaskar Gupta claims his removal by the West Bengal Governor lacked moral and legal standing. He maintains the December convocation followed all proper procedures with Executive Council approval and budget sanctions. The Governor cited rule violations in the convocation and campus unrest as reasons for dismissal, demanding Gupta personally refund convocation expenses. Gupta argues the Governor provided no formal dismissal reason and that proper communication channels weren't followed. He believes the real motivation was his decision to proceed with the convocation despite the Chancellor's objections, noting that a permanent VC appointment file has remained unprocessed since November despite his largely successful one-year tenure.
