CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has appointed C Raghavan, a former Principal District Judge of Madurai, as Chief Election Officer (CEO) to conduct elections to Annamalai University Employees Association for 2018.
Justice T Raja gave the directive while passing orders on a petition from P Manoharan, association president, who sought to quash an order dated June 18 last of the Chidambaram Tahsildar and consequently appoint a retired district judge as CEO to hold the polls to the association.
According to advocate S Sithirai Anandam, by the June 18 order, the local Tahsildar had directed the association not to conduct the election citing law and order problem. In the absence of any law and order problem, the Tahsildar had erroneously passed the order, Anandam said and prayed the court to appoint a CEO to hold the election in a free and fair manner.
The CEO is at liberty to approach the university authorities for any assistance on the administrative side and the authorities should co-operate with him in all aspects, the judge said.
Police support
CEO Raghavan should make out an application before the SP, seeking police assistance for holding the poll in a peaceful manner
