As per University order dated 23.04.2008 an enquiry as per SRO 293/72 has been ordered.  The enquiry officer in his report has recommended to take appropriate action against you as per rules.  He has also requested to consider the request of you to reduce the liability against you to a reasonable extent.

On further scrutiny, it is found that a sum of Rs. 1,15,057/- is to be recovered from you to clear off the bonded obligation and that a sum of Rs. 1,52,505/- is available in your PF account as per credit card for 1999-2000.

(ii)        Continue the disciplinary proceedings initiated against you.
