    Case Summary: The High Court of Manipur granted interim relief to petitioner Sumitra Phanjoubam by staying the Ministry of Education's orders appointing Prof. Ganga Prasad Parsain as in-charge Vice-Chancellor of Manipur University. The court found that since Phanjoubam, the senior-most professor, was initially appointed as in-charge VC under Statute 2(6) of the Manipur University Act, 2005, her replacement by the junior-ranked Parsain appeared to violate statutory provisions requiring seniority consideration. The court permitted Phanjoubam to resume charge as in-charge VC pending the next hearing on 08.06.2026. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
