  "account": "The Tamil Nadu government will withdraw a Government Order (G.O.) that had temporarily promoted Registrar Gowri Ramesh of Dr. Ambedkar Law University as the Director of Legal Studies (DLS), according to the state. The decision comes after Vellore Government Law College principal M. Rajeswaran had challenged the allocation of additional responsibilities to Ms. Gowri, arguing that a full-time university registrar should not also hold the full-time DLS position. The high court initially stayed the G.O. on June 30, 2026, and the state then filed a G.O. on July 21, 2026, appointing a joint secretary to handle the DLS responsibilities instead. However, the Supreme Court's single judge and bench subsequently stayed the July 21, 2026 G.O. as well, directing the government to follow the regular process of direct recruitment or transfer to fill the vacant DLS position, as outlined in Rule 2(a) of the Special Rules for the Tamil Nadu Collegiate Educational Service.",
