NEW DELHI: Senior faculty member of IIM (Calcutta) Professor Saibal Chattopadhyay has been appointed as the director-in-charge of the premier B school. In a statement, IIM-C said on Tuesday that Chattopadhyay has been appointed by the Board of Governors (BoG) with immediate effect. The statement said the change was effected in the wake of the receipt of a written complaint “against the earlier director-in-charge and recommending to BoG for his removal during an inquiry.”
The Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) of the institute has received a written complaint against the person concerned and recommended that he be removed from the said post to ensure a “free and fair inquiry”, while asserting it should not in a manner be a reflection about the merits/demerits of the allegations. The measure was required for the ICC to ensure that impartiality is maintained and the inquiry is duly compliant with the principles of natural justice, it said.

In line with the extant law, the next senior-most faculty member Professor Saibal Chattopadhyay was appointed as the director-in-charge with immediate effect, the statement said. Chattopadhyay’s predecessor stepped down three days back.
