Appointment of Visveswaraya Technological University registrar termed illegal
Deccan ChronicleBelagavi: The appointment of Prof H N Jagannath Reddy as Registrar of Visveswaraya Technological University has been termed as illegal by VTU's executive council which met over ratification of Registrar's appointment in Belagavi. Most of EC members opined that the appointment of Mr Reddy by an acting VC is in violation of VTU Act of 1994 and said, only in case of emergency situation that the university should appoint a Registrar by way of ratification. After suspending several top officials of VTU including former VC H Maheshappa, Raj Bhavan should have followed the VTU's guidelines while appointing the Registrar, says Shivakumar. It many be noted here that former acting VC Shekharappa had to resign to his post a few weeks ago under pressure from some officials of Raj Bhavan to appoint Mr Reddy as Registrar.
