Just days after a favorable verdict from the Supreme Court, the Tamil Nadu government faced a setback in the High Court over the appointment of Vice Chancellors in state universities. The High Court questioned the state’s process, saying it did not fully follow the rules laid down for such appointments. This decision has created new challenges for the government’s efforts to gain more control over higher education.
The ruling is seen as a reminder that even after a top court win, every legal step must follow proper procedure. Education experts and political leaders are now closely watching how the state will respond. The government is expected to review its next move carefully, as the issue affects the leadership and functioning of several universities across Tamil Nadu.
