A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath also issued notice to the University directing them to file their reply on the allegation made in the plea on appointment of Gous Mashkoor Khan, Assistant Professor in Turkish, at JNU.
"Notice. Short affidavit be filed by JNU regarding the allegation made against him (Khan) in the writ petition," the court said and fixed the matter for August 31.
The court's direction came on a plea by M Arshad Parvez, who alleged that Khan, Assistant Professor, Centre for Turkish School of Language, Literature and Culture Studies at JNU, was not "eligible" for the post.
The petitioner sought a direction to "constitute a high- level fact-finding committee for fixing the responsibilities of the intellectual plagiarism committed by Khan".
He also sought a direction to University Grants Commission to "constitute a high-powered committee as a permanent mechanism to effectively prevent the serious issue of the plagiarism in academic circle and universities".
