The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|July 05, 2025
The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice after hearing an appeal filed by the Tamil Nadu government challenging a May 21 Madras High Court order that stayed the operation of nine state laws concerning the appointment of vice-chancellors (V-C) in public universities.
A two-judge bench, comprising Justices P.S. Narasimha and R. Mahadevan, issued the notice to the union government, office of the Tamil Nadu Governor and the University Grants Commission (UGC). The bench, though it refused to stay the high court order, agreed to examine the issue after responses are filed when the court reopens after summer vacation on July 14.
