Jayanthi Krishnamoorthy, Registrar (in-charge) of Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University appeared before the Madras High Court on Monday and tendered an unconditional apology for having used ‘highly intemperate’ language against Justice S.M. Subramaniam of the High Court. She tendered the apology before a Division Bench of Justices K.K. Sasidharan and P.D. Audikesavalu who had summoned her to explain why contempt of court proceedings should not be initiated against her and directed the Commissioner of Police, Greater Chennai, to serve the summons on her.
After accepting the apology, the judges posted a writ appeal filed by the university as well as its Vice-Chancellor T.S.N. Sastry for admission on Tuesday. The appellants challenged an interim order directing all faculty to disclose their educational qualifications.
