KOCHI: After facing a setback in the Technical University Vice Chancellor appointment case, the state government has decided to approach the division bench of the High Court. The government will file a petition in the division bench against the judgment allowing Ciza Thomas to continue. Severe protests took place after the Governor, who is also the Chancellor, appointed Dr Ciza Thomas as VC. In the meantime, the High Court ruled that Ciza can continue as the temporary VC. The court also directed the formation of the selection committee within three months before the selection of the new VC.
