Patna: Popularly known as the `Love Guru`, Professor Matuk Nath Chaudhary of Patna University`s B.N. College today joined duty after five years following revocation of termination of service by the Governor in his capacity of Chancellor late last night.
"I feel elated that my long drawn struggle for justice has finally borne result... I thank all those people who stood by me all these years," he said. Chaudhary, a Professor of Hindi, said that he was given a warm welcome upon joining duty in B.N. College after five years since he was suspended by the Patna University authorities on charges of misconduct over his much publicised affair with a student Julie.
He said that he harboured no ill will towards anybody who harassed him and had him suspended for alleged misconduct and subsequently got him terminated from service.
Chaudhary said that he was always confident of getting justice as he had committed no crime or misconduct.
Patna University authorities had initially suspended Prof. Chaudhary for misconduct in 2006 and subsequently in 2009 dismissed him from service. The professor later filed a petition in the Patna High Court challenging his dismissal from service which referred the matter to the Governor, in his capacity as the Chancellor of the state universities.
Chaudhary along with his friend Julie and sympathisers had sat on dharna here two days ago to press for reinstatement of service.
