The Bench citing distraction while hearing on the counter affidavit of University Grants Commission (UGC)'s adjourned the session while in progress.

The hearing took place through video-confering, allowing some 100 students to witness it.

But the indistinct chatter of the audience led Justice Sathyanarayana and Justice Hemalatha to adjourn the hearing midway.

Despite adjourning, the students refused to leave and they had to be removed from the video conference.

Last hearing took place on November 18, the Court called the counter-affidavit filed by UGC as improper, it was filed to stop the Tamil Nadu government from cancelling arrear exams, except for the final year.

UGC was asked to file an additional counter-affidavit on November 20 (today) and adjouned the hearing.
