NAGPUR: After representing Nagpur University for over a decade in various courts, Nagpur University's legal counsel Bhanudas Kulkarni tendered his resignation to VC Vilas Sapkal citing a "busy schedule". The lawyer confirmed the development to the media, but refused to speak further. This is the second time he has submitted his papers.
Though the VC is yet to take a decision on this, senior NU officials said that Kulkarni was fed up with the numerous queries related to his appointment by the Senate members, particularly by Samir Kene. Even case filed against him by Kohchade scam convict Sunil Mishra in the high court were also cited as a reason for his resignation.
The final nail in the coffin came after Kene again submitted a query on Kulkarni for the forthcoming Senate meeting on November 3. During last meet in March, Senate was rocked by this issue with members accusing VC of protecting Kulkarni. Kene had sought information on whether any court had passed strictures against legal counsel.
However, management council (MC) dropped the question inviting the wrath of Senate members. Kene had also asked the VC to explain whether they knew that Kulkarni had been expelled by MHADA from their panel of lawyers after serious allegations. Kene levelled serious allegations against Kulkarni and termed the dropping of a query against him as a "big conspiracy to save him by vested interests". He had dispatched a letter to chancellor K Sankaranarayanan in this regard, officials said.
