Turning its focus to finetuning legal education and weeding out the dead wood, the Madras high court has directed the vice-chancellor of Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar Law University to submit a report on action initiated to identify unqualified teaching faculty and other staff serving in government law colleges across the state.

Justice S M Subramaniam issued the interim directions, on a plea moved by D Shankar, a former professor of the university, seeking direction to reinstate him in the post.

“The details of the actions taken for verification of the credentials/certificates and other aspects of the teaching staff of the law colleges. The qualifications prescribed by the University Grants Commission (UGC) for appointment to the posts of teaching staffs including the professor, assistant professor, head of the department, principal, in the law colleges and the law universities shall be furnished,” the judge said.

This apart, the court has also sought details of teaching staff serving in the university and their respective educational and other qualifications with reference to the qualifications prescribed by UGC and details of sanctioned teaching posts in the university. The report shall also contain the method of selection to be adopted for recruitment of staff by the university, the court said and directed the vicechancellor to file the report by September 25.
