Hello
The apex court said the appointment made via a disputed order will be subject to the outcome of the appeal.
The Governor had put on hold Priya's appointment and sought a clarification from the VC.
Priya Varghese, wife of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's private secretary K K Ragesh, has yet again defended her controversial appointment as an associate professor in Kannur University, calling claims made by her opponents 'mere number games'.
Priya had aggregated a research score of only 156, while the topper in the list, Joseph Scaria had a score of 651.
VC Dr Gopinath Ravindran has been asked to file an explanation immediately as to the allegation that rules were flouted for the appointment of Dr Priya Varghese as associate professor in the Department of Malayalam.
Earlier, teachers' associations owing allegiance to Opposition parties had alleged that she was not eligible for the post, which led to a controversy.
The details of the qualifications of Priya were contained in the RTI reply received by the Kannur varsity senate member Dr RK Biju from the university.
As per the current strength in the legislature the LDF can easily ensure the victory of two candidates.
Ragesh has been at the forefront of the farmers' struggle at the borders of Delhi for the last two months.
