While the Kerala governor has warned enquiry into the recent appointments in various posts in universities in Kerala, the Kerala High Court on Friday annulled the appointment of writer and Dalit activist Rekha Raj as an assistant professor at Mahatma Gandhi University.
Rekha Raj got appointed as an assistant professor at MG University in 2019. The court issued the order while considering a petition moved by Nisha who obtained the second rank in the recruitment process.
In the petition before the HC, Nisha pointed out certain matters including marks. After examining the allegations of the petitioner, the court asked the university to replace Rekha Raj with Nisha.
Earlier, the court issued a stay order on the appointment of CPM leader KK Ragesh’s wife Priya Varghese in Kannur University.
