Plea against medical university Vice Chancellor quashed

The plea also sought for de-listing the VC’s husband and sister from the Standing Academic Board of the University.

The first bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice M Sundar on refusing to entertain the plea held that “We are completely dissatisfied with the bonafide of this petition. The power of the vice-chancellor, in turn, is checked by the various  bodies, where agendas are placed and approved. Thus, there is a control and check mechanism provided under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University Act, 1998 itself.” 

The bench also held that “Merely because a person unconnected with the subject matter even wrote letters to the chancellor would not give him the right to seek a direction from the court that the Chancellor must act in a particular manner.”
