The committee headed by a retired district judge, appointed by the State government in May this year to probe allegations of corruption against Kuvempu University Vice-Chancellor B.P. Veerabhadrappa and others in the university, has not yet begun its work, though it is to submit a report within 20 days.
The Department of Higher Education issued the order appointing the committee under the leadership of Ravindranath H.B., retired district and sessions judge in Shivamogga, on May 29.
The committee included the Executive Director of Karnataka State Higher Education Council and the Registrar (Administration) of Bengaluru University as members. The committee was given 20 days to complete the preliminary inquiry and submit its report. However, almost 50 days later, the committee has not met even once.
