    Case Summary: WPS/3862/2026 The Chhattisgarh High Court disposed of petitioner Rajesh Kumar Shukla's writ petition challenging his non-selection for a Professor (Commerce) position at Atal Bihari Vajpayee University. The court overruled the Registry's preliminary objection that the Chancellor (Governor) was erroneously impleaded, holding that the Governor, while acting as Chancellor, exercises powers in a distinct statutory capacity not entitled to Article 361 immunity. The court directed the Chancellor to decide expeditiously on the petitioner's complaint based on an inquiry report already submitted on 21.05.2025, without quashing the appointment of the selected candidate (Dr. Atul Dubey). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
