The former Syndicate member of Karnatak University, Dharwad, K.S. Jayanth has alleged that the Vice-Chancellor of Karnatak University K.B. Gudasi was delaying the implementation of the High Court order on upholding the quashing of the appointment of an assistant professor of English.
Addressing presspersons in Dharwad on Friday, Mr. Jayanth, who is also the convener of ‘Save University Forum’, alleged that despite the High Court of Karnataka upholding the Single Judge order on quashing the appointment of assistant professor of English P.G. Sridevi, she was being allowed to continue in service.
He said that the Single Judge order of August 2021 quashed the appointment of Ms. Sridevi observing that she did not possess the requisite qualification for the post. However, Ms. Sridevi had appealed against the order and the Division Bench upheld the Single Judge order on April 11, 2022.
