Chennai:
Tamil Nadu government corrected an anomaly in the eligibility criteria for state medical university vice-chancellor candidature, when it clarified in the Madras high court that a former vice-chancellor of the university is indeed eligible for reappointment.
The state additional advocate-general Narmadha Sampath made a submission in this regard, when a petition filed by renowned orthopaedic surgeon and former vice-chancellor of Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University, Dr Mayilvahanan Natarajan, came up for hearing.
Selection process for appointment of a new VC for the state university, which is set to fall vacant in the next few days, is already on. However, according to state notification, only those with six years of experience in an administrative position would be eligible to apply for the post. It was silent on the eligibility of a former VC such as Dr Natarajan who had held the post for three years.
This prompted him to drag the issue to court, where Narmadha Sampath clarified: “Under section 10(3) of the Act, a VC who held office for a period of three years is also eligible for reappointment for a further period of three years which is entitled to be considered, subject to other eligibility conditions.”
She further added that the application of Dr Natarajan for the post had already been received and included in the list of applicants, which are to be scrutinized by the selection committee. Recording the submissions, Justice S Vimala closed the plea moved by Dr Natarajan.
