Former Vice Chancellor of the Fiji National University Ganesh Chand

Former Vice Chancellor of the Fiji National University Ganesh Chand who has been charged with one count of abuse of office by FICAC appeared in the Suva High Court today.

The case has been adjourned to 25th January to set a hearing date.

The court also informed both counsels that the court's diary for 2016 was fully booked up to April 2017 and if both counsels want an early date they can have the matter transferred to another judge to hear it.

Chand’s lawyer Devanesh Sharma replied that they are fine with the dates and could have a tentative hearing date set for 2016 in case one of the other trials get vacated.

Doctor Chand while being employed in the Public Service as the Vice Chancellor of FNU, allegedly abused his authority by approving the payments for overseas medical treatment for the then Minister of Education and the Chairman of the Fiji National University Council, Filipe Bole without the approval of the FNU council.
