Refusing an “offer” made by Ahluwalia,where he had proposed the he will withdraw his petition from the high court if the inquiry against him was dropped,the university termed the petition as “abuse of process of law”.

“The petition has been filed by the petitioner as a preemptive measure,realising that all the illegalities and irregularities committed by him resulting in huge financial losses to the university have now come to light and if an inquiry is conducted in the allegations against the petitioner,he would be exposed…,” the university’s reply stated.
