The Syndicate of Mahatma Gandhi University that is scheduled to meet on Thursday will decide on the future course of action of the university in the issue of examination malpractice allegations against Inspector General of Police (Thrissur Range) T.J. Jose.

University authorities said a high-level meeting here on Wednesday discussed all issues involved in the matter.

The discussions were based on a report of a one-man commission appointed for inquiry into the allegation. The details of the discussions would be placed before the Syndicate.

Second chance

Since the Syndicate called on May 2 could not complete its business, it was decided to continue it on May 7, and as such the Syndicate was now, technically, in session, university authorities said. Hence, the decision to place the report and other details before the Syndicate for further action.

The Syndicate was expected to form a larger body to look into the matter.

Whether the accused would be given a chance to explain his side to the authorities, if yes, when, and so on would also be decided by the Syndicate.

Vice Chancellor Babu Sebastian; Pro Vice Chancellor Sheena Shukkur; Examination Convener N. Vijayakumar; Registrar M.R. Unni; Controller of Examinations Thomas John Mambara; standing counsel of the university at Kerala High Court Varghese M. Easo; deputy registrar (examinations) A.C. Babu and others participated in Wednesday’s deliberations.

Panel findings

Meanwhile, the report submitted by the inquiry commission into the misconduct of the IG in the examination has said that he ran out of the hall with the pieces of paper on which he had brought the answers for copying. The report was prepared by A.C. Babu.

According to the report, when the invigilator tried to confiscate the pieces of paper Mr. Jose had brought for copying, he forcibly took them and his hall ticket and ran out of the hall.
