The Madras High Court on Monday directed the State government to unearth the names of Coimbatore Government College of Technology staff and their family members reportedly involved in bagging the tenders floated by the institution. Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy directed Higher Education Secretary to disclose to the court, by August 9, the relationship between the employees of the college and those who had been awarded the tenders. Ordering that the Secretary should also explain how the matter had escaped the attention of the government, the court made it clear that immediate remedial measures should also be taken if anything remiss was discovered during the inquiry.More Related News
