CHENNAI: The Madras high court has set aside the removal of P Vijayan from the post of director of Indian Maritime University (IMU) and has quashed another order imposing ₹22.7 lakh as penalty on him for unauthorised deployment of services of menial staff and alleged misuse of official vehicles thereby causing loss to the university.
Justice C Saravanan passed the order while allowing two petitions moved by Vijayan challenging the actions of the executive council of the institution dated April 20 and 26, 2018.
