CHENNAI: The entire syndicate of Bharathiyar University, including the director of collegiate education and directors of medical education and technical education, are staring at contempt for deliberate violation of a high court ruling that prohibited the university from permitting distance education study centres.
Justice N Kirubakaran, slamming all the eight syndicate members for having adopted a resolution violating his order, said: “Are the court orders so ineffective to be violated or are they paper orders to be ignored? If this case is understood properly, one gets the impression that officials are not scrupulously following the orders of the court. On the other hand, they are going against the order or violating the orders.”
He then summoned R Sarumathi, director of collegiate education, Dr A Edwin Joe, director of medical education, represented by Dr Rajasekar, Vivekanandan, director of technical education, G Singaravelu, head of the department of education technology, Bharathiyar University, N Jeyakumar, head of the department of bioinformatics, Bharathiyar University, Ravichandran, head of the department of social science, Annamalai University, M Saravana Kumar, dean, Anna University, Coimbatore, and Chinnadurai, principal, Kamban College of Arts and Science, Tiruppur.
On December 8, 2017, the university gave an undertaking to the court that it would not operate distance education study centres and would not grant affiliation and recognition relating to distance education outside Tamil Nadu from the academic year 2018-19. Recording it, Justice Kirubakaran had prohibited the university from running study centres.
However, on November 28, 2018, the university syndicate adopted a resolution permitting spot admission cum learning centres for the academic year 2018-2019 as a special case. It also allowed them to submit examination applications along with second and third year candidates.
A livid Justice Kirubakaran stayed the resolution and wondered how could candidates admitted in the middle of an academic year be allowed to write examination along with second and third year candidates.
Treating all the eight syndicate members are contemnors, Justice Kirubakaran said, “the syndicate members, who voted in favour of granting of permission are also prima facie liable for violation of the court order.” He directed all of them to be present in court on January 7, 2019.
