Dr. Bharath Shetty Y. S/O Dr. Y. Chandra ... vs The Registrar, Rajiv Gandhi University ... on 22 March, 2007
19. At this stage, learned Counsel for the petitioner would argue that the Chancellor has obtained certain materials such as attendance register from the College and that the petitioners were not given an opportunity in this regard. It is true that the material obtained by the Chancellor was not put to the petitioners. However, even without looking into the attendance register obtained from M.V.J. Medical College, it is very clear from the aforesaid Government Order that Dr. Vijaya Kumar was not a full-time teacher in the College. Therefore, the Chancellor was right in holding that Dr. Vijaya Kumar was not a teacher within the definition of Section 2(m) of the Act and was ineligible to be elected as a member of the Senate of the University from 'Teachers other than Professors' constituency. The decision relied on by Sri Nanjunda Reddy in the case of S.N. Chandrashekar v. State of Karnataka reported in 2006 AIR SCW 800 is not applicable to the facts of this case.
