The administrative employees of the University of Madras have written to the Registrar that the institution should settle the dues of the staff.
The Madras University Staff Association has cited a recent court judgment that ruled that the Local Fund Audit (LFA) cannot “go into the justification of promotions given by a university”. The verdict delivered by the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court ruled that the State universities were governed by their own statutes and had the autonomy to appoint, promote and fix salaries for their staff.
