High court adjourns BU VC’s bail plea
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Chennai: The Madras high court has adjourned the hearing of a bail application moved by Bharathiyar University vice-chancellor A Ganapathy, who was recently arrested by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) for accepting a bribe of Rs 30 lakh from an assistant professor for regularising his post.
According to the petitioner, he was appointed to the post due to his “spotless and meritorious” service record.
However, now at the behest of certain disgruntled elements, a false case had been foisted against him, he said.
Further, pointing out that the complainant was appointed as a probationer only during his tenure as vice-chancellor, the petitioner said that there was no allegation against him of having demanded any money for the appointment.
When such was the case, the alleged demand for regularisation in service was baseless, Ganapathy added.
Ganapathy’s previous two attempts to get a bail from the Coimbatore district court were turned down, prompting him to approach the Madras high court.
