Chennai:19.09.2018

The Madras high court has restrained the Univeristy of Madras from interfering with the functioning of the principal of New College, Royapettah till further orders.

Justice Sathrughana Pujari passed the interim order on a plea moved by the college’s correspondent seeking to quash the order passed by the university refusing approval to the appointment of A Abdul Jabbar as principal. The judge also directed the university to file its reply by November 15.

According to the petitioner, the college is a religious minority educational institution administered by the Muslim Educational Association of Southern India.

The institution became autonomous in 2007. On May 31, the post of principal fell vacant and the management invited applications as per UGC regulations, the petitioner said. The managing committee comprising nine members appointed Jabbar as principal with effect from June 1. However, the university in an order dated July 12 refused to approve the posting prompting the college to approach the court.
