Noyna Chatterjee, vice-principal of South Calcutta Law College, has withdrawn her resignation upon the governing body's request, citing concerns over the impact on academic and administrative functions. Chatterjee had resigned due to stress factors amidst a student gangrape controversy involving a former student.

After submitting her resignation, Chatterjee was urged by the college's governing body to remain in her role until a principal could be appointed, as her departure could threaten salary disbursements and overall governance. Chatterjee has now confirmed her decision to stay.

The incident follows criticism directed at Chatterjee for her handling of misconduct and administrative issues, including allowing the alleged rapist, Monojit Mishra, access to the campus before his arrest. Inquiries are ongoing, with authorities scrutinizing her actions.
