Fresh guv-govt legal battle amid administrative crisis in KTU, DUK

- SOVI VIDYADHARAN @T'Puram

EVEN as the state government is jubilant over the High Court verdict quashing interim vice-chancellor appointments made by former Governor Arif Mohammed Khan in APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) and Digital University, Kerala (DUK), his successor Rajendra Arlekar is firm on taking the legal battle forward.

The Raj Bhavan has decided to move the apex court against the recent HC verdict, citing a November 2023 Supreme Court order that pulled up the Kerala government for "unwarranted interference" with the governor's power to appoint the vice-chancellor. "It was in February 2023 that the High Court division bench first ruled that the government could submit a panel of three names for interim V-C appointment in KTU," a Raj Bhavan source said.
