The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Monday ordered notice to the State government, UGC and Madurai Kamaraj University in a PIL petition that challenged the conduct of final semester examinations.
A Division Bench of Justices M. Sathyanarayanan and P. Rajamanickam ordered notices in the PIL petition filed by R. Murali, former Principal of Madura College, who also served as the Academic Council, Senate and Syndicate member of the university. He challenged the mode of conduct of the examinations.
The petitioner said the State had passed an order to conduct final semester examinations to various colleges through online, offline or by blending both online and offline modes. Permission was granted to the university to conduct the exam only through online mode. Under these circumstances, the university issued a notification for the conduct of the examination by adopting the online mode. The students after writing the test in an A4 size paper were asked to take a photo of the same and send it to the university through WhatsApp. This was not online mode and credibility of the exam was at stake. Parents were asked by the university to act as supervisors. This was a mockery of the system.
The case was adjourned to October 15.
