Search panel names on law varsity V-C rejected
Committee didn’t follow UGC norms: Governor
The Governor has rejected the shortlist of three candidates recommended by the search committee for the post of V-C of Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University.
This was stated in a counter-affidavit filed by the Principal Secretary to the Governor on Wednesday before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court in the case against the constitution of the committee. The counter-affidavit said that the Governor had rejected the recommendations as UGC norms were not followed by the committee. The Governor had also decided that a new search committee should be formed.
A Division Bench of Justices K. K. Sasidharan and G. R. Swaminathan, which had earlier stayed all proceedings of the committee, disposed of the petition filed by the Tiruchi Government Law College Alumni Association. The petitioner had questioned the credentials of members of the committee and said that one of the nominees was a member of the ruling party. The court had earlier observed that Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University Act, 1996, was silent on the eligibility of members of the search committee.
