Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU) has approached the Supreme Court against the Kerala High Court’s decision to cancel the appointment of writer and Dalit activist Rekha Raj as Assistant Professor in the School of Gandhian Thought and Development Studies.
A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court had cancelled the appointment saying that there were irregularities in the appointment process. It is learnt that Ms. Rekha Raj has filed a separate petition before the apex court to nullify the order of the Division Bench.
The varsity decided to challenge the High Court ruling after consultations with the Department of Higher Education.
