The court’s single-bench order has also put a question mark on the legal validity of the University Laws (Second Amendment) Act, 2014 passed by the State Assembly, which formed the basis of the appointments made in 2017.

The recent Kerala High Court order to quash the appointments of 58 teachers in the University of Kerala has opened a Pandora’s box in the higher education sector. The judgement is feared to pave way for the annulment of numerous appointments made in at least five State universities since 2014.
Bound to have far-reaching consequences, the Court single bench order has also put a question mark on the legal validity of the University Laws (Second Amendment) Act, 2014, passed by the Kerala Assembly, which formed the basis of the appointments made in 2017. The University Grants Commission (UGC) regulations of 2010, which had been in force then, as well as the provisions of the Kerala State and Subordinate Services Rules, 1958, had also been adhered to, university authorities point out.
