Uttarakhand Technical University VC ordered to conduct RDC meet within 2 months

The high court directed the vice-chancellor of Uttarakhand Technical University (UTU) to hold a Research Degree Committee (RDC) meeting within two months, while dismissing his special application challenging the October 2021 single bench order. A research scholar, Priyaneet Kaur, enrolled in the PhD programme in August 2017, approached the court as her PhD could not be completed due to non-conduct of RDC meeting. The court found no legal embargo for the UTU V-C to hold an RDC meeting.
