The Tamil Nadu Government had called it illegal and had reconstituted the committees, excluding UGC nominees and had challenged the Governor's move in the Supreme Court.
In what's being seen as a major victory for the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu, the state Governor RN Ravi has withdrawn the search committees he had unilaterally constituted, controversially including a University Grants Commission Chairman's nominee to appoint Vice Chancellors for three state Universities - University of Madras, Bharathiar University and the Tamil Nadu Teachers Training University.
The Tamil Nadu Government had called it illegal and had reconstituted the committees, excluding UGC nominees and had challenged the Governor's move in the Supreme Court.
The development comes ahead of the Supreme Court hearing over the issue. The state government is also seeking a time frame for Governors to dispose bills passed by the state assembly, to approve appointments made to key bodies like the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission and probe into corruption allegations into former Ministers from the AIADMK.
