Appointment of MB Rajesh's wife: Third rank holder hands over complaint to Governor, CM

KOZHIKODE: V Hikmatullah, who is ranked third in the PSC rank list, has handed over a complaint to the Governor and the Chief Minister against the appointment of MB Rajesh's wife Ninitha Kanicheriat as an assistant professor at the Kalady Sree Sankaracharya University. The complainant stated that the authorities appointed Ninitha by overlooking his qualifications. He demanded that the appointment should be cancelled and a new interview should be conducted. Hikmatullah's complaint came soon after three experts on the interview board submitted a letter to Kalady University alleging that the rank list had been subverted.

The Save University campaign has also submitted a complaint to the Governor about the appointment. The complaint said that there was nepotism in the rank list and the appointment of the CPM leader's wife was made by ignoring those who were qualified. It was mentioned that Ninitha had secured 212th rank in the rank list which was released based on written test and interview.
