University of Madras has filed a writ appeal in the High Court against a single judge’s order to round off 59.91% marks obtained by Tirunelveli DIG Pa Moorthy in M.L. course to 60%
The Madras High Court on Tuesday adjourned by a week a writ appeal filed by the University of Madras challenging a single judge’s order to round off 59.91% marks obtained by Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Pa Moorthy to 60% so that he could be considered to have passed his Masters in Law (M.L.) degree in first class and not second class.
First Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice D. Krishnakumar and Justice M. Jothiraman adjourned the hearing since the appeal could not be taken up on Tuesday due to paucity of time. Another Division Bench of Justices R. Mahadevan (now a Supreme Court judge) and Mohammed Shaffiq had already stayed the single judge’s order on February 8 this year.
An IPS officer, Pa Moorthy, filed a petition to have his 59.91% marks in his Master's in Law (M.L.) degree rounded off to 60%, to be considered as first class. The University of Madras initially rejected his request, prompting Moorthy to approach the Madras High Court. A single judge ruled in his favor, citing a similar 2017 case.
