New Delhi, Dec. 12 -- The Supreme Court on Thursday asked a committee headed by a former judge of the top court to resolve the stalemate between Kerala's governor and chief minister in appointing vice chancellors to two universities by examining the differences and propose one name each for the two institutions by December 17.

A bench of justices JB Pardiwala and KV Viswanathan passed the order after both the constitutional authorities informed that despite holding consultations, there has been no consensus on the name recommended as vice chancellor of Kerala University of Digital Sciences, Innovation and Technology while there was no difference of opinion with regard to another university - APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University.
