Welcoming the decision of Justice Ganguly to resign as an honorary professor of the NUJS, a law college spokesperson said they appreciated the decision.
NUJS spokesperson, Ruchira Goswami said, "Our Vice-Chancellor P Ishwara Bhatt has appreciated the stand and this has been informed to our faculty as they had demanded that the university should dissociate with him."
The premier law institute's faculty members had written to the VC saying Justice Ganguly's continued association with the institution undermines the ideals of NUJS that has always strived to teach and foster justice, including gender justice.
As an honorary professor of NUJS, the retired Supreme Court judge attended guest lectures besides supporting other academic activities.
