creation of a Research-based Teaching University and Research-based Administrative University model, respectively. 2016 Gujarat National Law University was excoriated by the Gujarat High Court in its order of Jaymin Rajendra Brahmbhatt v. Gujarat National Law University and 5 Others. The order had described the university as an epitome of injustice and set aside the order of a committee established by the university to cancel a student's examination. GNLU filed a letters patent appeal (appeal to a bench of two judges of the same high court) along with an application for urgent hearing of the matter. The application for urgent hearing was dismissed by the Gujarat High Court. The Gujarat High Court finally disposed off the appeal by ordering in independent enquiry as agreed between the parties. 2017 and 2018 In early 2017, a financial officer filed a petition against GNLU alleging that his oral termination was illegal. In April 2017, Justice Sonia Gokani of the Gujarat High Court ordered that the employee be allowed to continue in service. GNLU appealed the High Court order but was asked by the court to ensure reinstatement of the employee. After taking the employee back into service, GNLU put him on leave. In February 2018, Gujarat High Court ordered GNLU to comply with its earlier order in ‘true spirit’.
