VC's favourite drags JU to court, gets rewarded as Spl Secy to VC | | | Early Times Report Jammu, Mar 25: The infirmity of the present administration under the nose of Prof Ramji Dass Sharma can be measured from the fact that Neeraj Sharma who disregarded University Council and also dragged university of Jammu into court finally managed his entry into power corridors of JU.
