University VC punished

In a rare case of handing out ‘punishment’ to a Vice Chancellor, a court of the Kerala Chief Justice on Tuesday ordered the Kottayam-based Mahatma Gandhi University Vice Chancellor Babu Sebastian and two other officials to keep standing in the court till 4.30 p.m for disobeying the court’s order.

A division bench of Chief Justice Navaniti Prasad Singh had ordered Vice Chancellor Sebastian, Registrar M.R. Unni, and the Finance Officer to appear before it on why contempt of court proceedings should not be taken as they had failed to obey a single bench order, that was upheld by the division bench and also by the apex court in July.
