Kerala High Court quashes charges against former CUK Joint Registrar
The Hindu
Court orders payment of all benefits and salary arrears to him
Three years of struggle for justice ended in a happy note for S. Gopinath, who was removed from service while he was serving as Joint Registrar at the Central University of Kerala (CUK). On Saturday, he celebrated Onam with his family in Kasaragod, as the long-drawn legal battle ended, with the Kerala High Court quashing charges levelled against him by the university and ordered it to clear all benefits and salary arrears due to him within three months. Mr. Gopinath was removed from service following allegations that he was instrumental in taking on rent a building to house the boys’ hostel of the CUK, agreeing to pay a monthly rent of ₹75,000 as well as an advance amount for three months to the building owner without the approval of the Vice Chancellor or the Registrar. This reportedly cost the university a loss of ₹3.5 lakh during 2013-14.
