Times of India ROHTAK: Officials of MD University, Rohtak<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Rohtak> allegedly forced a professor suffering from Motor Neuron Disease to accept the Voluntary Retirement Scheme or VRS.
In her police complaint, Vandana Malik, wife of management professor Virender Malik (50), who has been bedridden for the past around six months, alleged that OSD to the MDU vice-chancellor and three others forced her husband to give his thumb impressions on blank documents in the absence of his family at his residence. She also named the vice-chancellor in her complaint, accusing them of cheating, forgery and trespass. While police started investigations on receipt of the complaint on October 18, they have not registered a case yet. Vandana alleged that her husband, who is suffering from MND, a rare and deadly disease which has left his entire body paralyzed, was alone in the house on October 10 when Officer On Special Duty (OSD) to vice chancellor Vazir Singh Dalal<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Vazir-Singh-Dalal> and three other employees took his thumb impression on blank papers. These were used as an application seeking VRS on behalf of Malik. In its executive council meeting on October 12, the university granted the professor VRS with effect from October 18. The intimation letter sent to Malik said, "he had been allowed VRS with immediate effect by waiving off the three months notice period". Vandana said her husband had been teaching in the Institute of Management Studies and Research for the past 26 years. Professor Malik had been taking classes till May this year, which is when he became completely disabled. On May 23, doctors declared him 100% disabled. At this, the professor sent a request to the Vice-Chancellor seeking permission to continue in service as per the provisions of the Person with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1955. The Act states that no establishment shall dispense with or reduce in rank an employee who acquires disability during service. When contacted, MDU Vice-Chancellor R.P. Hooda said the professor had been granted VRS on his request. "The varsity has no motive in granting him retirement which was given on his personal request. Still, I have assigned an inquiry to the registrar into the complaint by Malik's wife," he said.
