KOCHI: The High Court is considering the plea filed against the Governor's action demanding the resignation of VCs of nine universities in the state.

The court asked whether the appointments of VCs were not prima facie illegal. “The Supreme Court has cancelled the appointment of Technical University VC.

If that order is applicable, then the Governor who allowed the VCs to continue on their post till 24th is an honorable person”, said the court. “How is it right to argue that it can go on until someone doesn't question it?” asked HC. The court also asked why the chancellor can’t take action as he is the appointing authority.
