The Kerala High Court has issued a stay order on the Governor’s decision to form a search committee for selecting the Vice Chancellor of the Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (KUFOS). This decision came after a legal challenge arguing that the Governor overstepped his authority. The court emphasized the need for compliance with established procedures and norms, particularly the inclusion of university representatives in the search committee, as outlined by the University Grants Commission (UGC) regulations. The move aims to resolve ongoing disputes and ensure transparent and fair selection processes for university leadership positions
