JAMMU, Mar 22: Jammu and Kashmir Higher Education Department (HED) has issued show cause notice to Dr Maheen Mustafa, Principal of Government College for Women (GCW), Baramulla for issuing a circular (without seeking prior approval of the competent authority) wherein the specialized faculty members were assigned the class work of faculty other than their own specialization.
“In the meeting chaired by Principal Secretary Higher Education, you were advised by the chair to clarify the order/circular issued by you which did not adhere to the assignment of subject specific teaching as envisaged by the regulations of UGC and appointments by Public Service Commission against subject specializations.

“In view of all this, you are served show cause notice to explain your position within 7 days from the date of issuance of this notice, as to why action should not be initiated against you as warranted under J&K CSR and J&K Classification Control and Appeal Rules,” the communiqué mentions.
