KOCHI: The Kerala high court on Monday said the chancellor’s communication asking the vice chancellors (VCs) of nine universities in Kerala to resign, prima facie, fails. The court said the VCs can continue unless the chancellor issues orders for their removal, after completing the enquiries now initiated. Governor Arif Mohammed Khan is the chancellor of the universities in Kerala.
Justice Devan Ramachandran conducted a special sitting on Monday, even though the court was closed for Diwali, to hear the petitions urgently moved by the VCs challenging the communication issued by the chancellor on Sunday, asking them to resign within 24 hours.
