Chennai: Former vice-chancellor of the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University Dr Mayilvahanan Natarajan has moved a division bench of the Madras high court challenging the present recruitment norms for the post.
Last week, a single judge of the court refused any relief to the ex-VC, who wanted the court to direct the university to amend the rules prescribing qualification for the post and include experience as former VC of the university also as valid qualification.
When the appeal came up for hearing before the vacation bench of Justice S Vaidyanathan and Justice P T Asha, counsel for the university sought time to get instructions.
However, the petitioner submitted that the term of the present VC would expire on Friday, and the issue would be further complicated if any interim order is passed by the government. Recording the submission, the bench said it would take up the plea for hearing on Friday.
According to the petitioner, the university has prescribed six years of experience in administrative position as eligibility for appointment as the vice-chancellor besides other educational and teaching experience.
Though the petitioner served as a VC for three years, he was ineligible to apply for reappointment in view of the six-year rule. Claiming that the three-year experience he holds as a VC would out weight six years of experience as a registrar or controller of examinations or principal of a college, Natarajan wanted the university to modify the eligibility criteria.
Pending disposal of the plea, the petitioner wanted the court to direct the university to withhold the publication of results of their selection process.
