Madurai:17.12.2018

The Madurai bench of the Madras high court has fined a petitioner — who holds a PhD in chemistry — who sought to quash a notification calling for an interview of assistant professors in a college, as wilfully causing hindrance in the appointment of teaching faculty in a college. A fine of ₹10,000 was imposed.

The petitioner, M Chandra Mohan, had applied for the post of assistant professor in A Veeraya Vandayar Memorial Sri Pushpam College at Poondi in Thanjavur district, in response to an advertisement in 2017. Chandra Mohan had attended the interview and was not considered for the post. Subsequently, Chandra Mohan challenged the notification on the ground that it was not in consonance with Section 11 of the Private Colleges Regulation Act 1976 as well as UGC norms.
