The first bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice P D Audikesavalau before whom the PIL moved in such regard came up for hearing ordered notice to the UoM returnable in a fortnight.

The petitioner B Ramkumar Adityan had submitted that contrary to a high court order that candidates who had undergone the regular Courses of Law, both in Bachelor Degree and Master Degree level and attended colleges or Universities, alone are eligible for appointment as law teachers, the Madras university has called for admission to M.L. programme in private study thereby misleading students.

He also cited to the recent high court order which categorically held that students who studied their PG Degree in Law through Private Study Mode in the UoM or under Distance Education Mode in the Annamalai University are not eligible for appointment to the post of law teachers.
