The Kerala High Court on Monday struck down the appointment of Dr. K Riji John as the Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (KUFOS) vice-chancellor. This is a significant blow for the Pinarayi Vijayan-led government amid its rift with Governor Arif Mohammad Khan over state universities' operations. John was appointed the VC in December 2021 after a three-member search committee suggested his name.
