Srikrishna Devaraya University Vice-Chancellor Kusuma Kumari has decided to knock the doors of the Andhra Pradesh High Court following her unceremonious termination from her post on Monday.
Kusuma Kumari told newspersons on Monday that the Justice Hanumanth Committee which was probing into the irregularities with regard to the appointment of faculty posts in the university, has neither questioned her nor provided her an opportunity to explain her stand.
The Hanumantha Committee suggested that Kusum Kumar was involved in the malpractices in the appointment of 29 professors of the university.
Meanwhile, Yogi Vemana University Vice-Chancellor Ramachandra Reddy has been directed to act as incharge vice-chancellor of Srikrishna Devaraya University.
This is the first instance in the history of the state when a vice-chancellor's actions came under judicial probe and given termination orders on charges of corruption.
Kusuma Kumari said she would move the State High Court and challenge the termination and the manner in which the judicial probe was conducted against her.
Governor ESL Narasimha, who is also the Chancellor of the University ordered the judicial probe into SKDU affairs and the V-C's role for ``willfully disregarding the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Universities Act, 1991''.
