Singh lodged a complaint against Tiwari in August 2020, alleging misbehaviour and sexual harassment. Despite this, the university authorities initiated disciplinary proceedings which resulted in four successive termination orders. Each time, Singh challenged the orders before the High Court, which repeatedly quashed them and directed the university to conduct proceedings in accordance with law. Singh assailed this decision before the High Court in a writ petition. The High Court, after reviewing the record, came down heavily on the university.
