Syed afzal murtaza rizvi, a professor at Jamia Millia Islamia University, has filed a petition against the selection process for the vice-chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). The controversy arose when the acting VC's wife was included in the shortlisted candidates. An AMU professor wrote a letter to the President of India alleging improper selection procedures. The court has scheduled a hearing for November 16. If elected, the acting VC's wife, Naima Khatoon, will become the first woman to hold the position in AMU's history.

Allahabad High Court has validated professor Naima Khatoon's appointment as Aligarh Muslim University's Vice-Chancellor, dismissing challenges to the selection process. The court emphasized the adherence to regulations and hailed the appointment as a progressive step for gender representation. Khatoon expressed faith in the judiciary, viewing the verdict as a reaffirmation of democratic values within the higher education system.
