The judgment on which the stay had been placed was delivered on a petition filed by Arabi U, a 60-year-old professor in the Department of Economics, Mangalore University, against whom sexual harassment allegations had been made.
A student had lodged a complaint with the State and National Commission for Women against him when he was functioning as Chairman of the Department of Economics in April 2018.
The University placed the complaint for enquiry before its ICC, which found him guilty of the sexual harassment allegations. The University then issued a show-cause notice to him, as to why he should not be dismissed from service.
