A division bench comprising acting Chief Justice Iqbal Ahmad Ansari and Justice Chakradhari Saran Singh ordered removal of the VC Azhar Hussain.
The order came on a writ petition filed by a retired professor of the university Ram Kamakhya Singh in April, 2014 alleging Hussain lacked requisite qualification for the appointment.
The bench had reserved its order on December 14 this year after completion of hearing and delivered the order today.
The court also ordered fresh appointment of a VC.
