Facing charges of irregularities in various academic affairs in Anna University during her stint as its controller of examinations, the university’s suspended professor GV Uma has moved the Madras high court for anticipatory bail.

When the matter came up for admission before Justice M Dhandapani on Thursday, the court ordered notice to the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) and directed the agency to file its reply by August 14.

According to the petitioner, she held the post of controller of examinations from March 3, 2015 and March 2, 2018. During the said period, she conducted examinations for the university as well as colleges affiliated to it in a fair and transparent manner, she said. She added that the controller could neither influence the examiners nor the officers to award favourable marks to any student.

The DVAC so far has not conducted a proper inquiry and instead opted to array the petitioner in the scam, she added. She assured the court that she would abide by the conditions imposed by the court and cooperate with the investigation.
