The stay has come in a petition filed by the second rank holder seeking a directive to the Kannur University and its selection committee to rework the rank list for the post of Associate Professor in the Malayalam department of the Kannur University after removing Priya Varghese.
“Priya Varghese was not qualified enough to be called for the interview as she did not have the requisite teaching experience.
