Meanwhile, Kerala University Vice-Chancellor VP Mahadevan Pillai, who retired today, should also give an explanation to the Governor. Doubts were raised whether the steps taken by the Governor regarding the resignation of the VCs should be followed as he had resigned. Meanwhile, Raj Bhavan sources said that the retired VCs should also give an explanation. The explanation is that he was the Vice-Chancellor at the time of the Supreme Court judgment and the appointments in violation of the UGC rules were invalid according to the court judgment.
