Ex-VCs to be considered for reappointment
CHENNAI, DECEMBER 27, 2018 00:00 IST
The Madras High Court has closed a writ petition filed by Mayilvahanan Natarajan, former Vice-Chancellor of Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University, after recording a submission on behalf of the State government that former Vice-Chancellors shall also be considered for reappointment for one more term.
Justice S. Vimala recorded the submission by Additional Advocate General Narmadha Sampath that over 40 persons had applied for the post after a notification issued last month and Dr. Natarajan’s application was also under scrutiny.
During the course of arguments, the AAG told the court that the petitioner’s candidature would have to satisfy all other eligibility criteria. However, since Section 10(3) of the Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University Act of 1987 states that a Vice-Chancellor shall be appointed for three years and would be eligible for re-appointment, the petitioner’s application shall be scrutinised, she said.
In his affidavit, Dr. Natarajan, 64, who was the Vice-Chancellor of the university between 2009 and 2012. expressed the desire to be re-appointed to the same post.
