The Delhi High Court on Tuesday stayed an order of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) withdrawing the approval granted to Professor P.J. Cherian, director of the PAMA Institute for the Advancement of Transdisciplinary Archaeological Sciences, for excavations at Pattanam and Mathilakam sites in Ernakulam and Thrissur districts of Kerala.
Justice Rekha Palli stayed the September 3, 2021 order of the ASI in which the permission granted to Prof. Cherian’s team on June 4, 2021 for excavation of Pattanam and Mathikalam sites till September 30, 2021 was revoked.
The ASI had cited that Prof. Cherian has been wrongly using its logo without prior approval and also collecting internship fee from students against the norms of research supported by the ASI.
