Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday quashed the appointment of Prof. N.K. Loknath as the Vice-Chancellor (VC) of University of Mysore (UoM).
A single Judge Bench of the HC comprising Justice N.S. Sanjay Gowda delivered the verdict while allowing the two petitions — one by Sharath Ananthamurthy, a Professor in the School of Physics, University of Hyderabad and the other by Prof. G. Venkatesh Kumar, a retired Head of the Department of Psychology, UoM. Both were among the contenders for the VC post.
