- B.Governor of the State as Chancellor✓ Correct Answer
- C.Chief Justice of India
- D.President of India as Visitor

Explanation
The case concerns bills that seek to transfer the power to appoint Vice-Chancellors. In most state universities, the Governor of the state acts as the ex-officio Chancellor and holds this appointment power under the respective University Acts.
Consider the following statements regarding the recent Supreme Court judgment on Tamil Nadu's university bills:
1. The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's order staying the operation of the bills.
2. The Supreme Court directed the Madras High Court to decide the main case within six weeks.
3. The Supreme Court noted that the state government had been given reasonable time by the High Court to file its counter.
- A.(A) Only 1
- B.(B) Only 2✓ Correct Answer
- C.(C) Both 1 and 3
- D.(D) All three

Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect: The SC set aside the HC order, it did not uphold it. Statement 2 is correct: The SC requested the HC to decide the case within six weeks. Statement 3 is incorrect: The SC set aside the order precisely because the state was NOT given reasonable time.

- B.8
- C.10✓ Correct Answer
- D.12
▶ Show Explanation▼ Hide Explanation
Explanation
The article clearly states that the Madras High Court's order stayed the operation of 10 bills. These bills aimed to transfer the power of appointing Vice-Chancellors from the Chancellor to the state government.
What is the core legal principle invoked by the Supreme Court to set aside the Madras High Court's stay order in the Tamil Nadu university bills case?
- A.Doctrine of Basic Structure
- B.Principle of Proportionality
- C.Audi Alteram Partem (Hear the other side)✓ Correct Answer
- D.Doctrine of Colourable Legislation
▶ Show Explanation▼ Hide Explanation
Explanation
The Supreme Court set aside the order because the state was not given a 'reasonable time' to present its case (file a counter-affidavit). This violates the principle of 'Audi Alteram Partem', a rule of natural justice ensuring a fair hearing. The SC emphasized procedural fairness.
