PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Saturday urged the government to quicken the process of giving promotions to Tamil Nadu medical college professors.
In a statement, Dr. Ramadoss said around 500 assistant professors and 450 associate professors were waiting for their promotions despite the Madras High Court order that counselling be held in this regard.
“It is not fair. If State government wants, it can organise counselling and provide promotions within 10 days, but it is holding on to rules that were designed several years ago, which is going to take 3 months at the very minimum,” he said.
Promotions in close to 45 departments have to be given for 2021, 2022 and 2023. “But it is learnt that the government has planned to consider promotions only for 10 departments for the year 2021,” he added.
Tamil Nadu had always been at the forefront of introducing and adopting new technology and it should also do the same in this issue, he said.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
