The appointment of nine vice-chancellors by the Telangana Government was rejected by the Hyderabad High Court on Thursday on the ground that the appointments were not done on the basis of qualifications.

VCs were appointed to eight universities including Osmania, JNTU, Ambedkar Open University, Kakatiya, Telugu University, Palamuru and Prof.Jayashankar Agricultural University on Tuesday. The government made the appointments through a GO based on their qualifications that deviated from the established procedure of selecting VCs by a search committee that protects the autonomous status of the universities and also avoids political interference in the administration.

The GOs made in connection with the appointments were also quashed. Following the appeal by the Advocate-General Ramakrishna Reddy, the Court gave four weeks stay on the cancellation of the appointments till the appeal is filed.
