It is submitted that one Dr.S.Vasudevan was appointed as the Project Director. Projects are to be entrusted and fellowship amounts will be remitted by the concerned entities with the respondent university and only through the respondent university, fellowship amounts will be disbursed to the individual associates. The grievance of the petitioners is that they had already completed their projects. Arrears of substantial sums of money is due and payable to them by the University.

¶19

2.The learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent university would submit that no doubt the petitioners have worked in more than one project. But, then on account of sudden demise of the Dr.Vasudevan, Project Director, it is not known at whose behest the projects were undertaken. As and when the university is in receipt of the funds from the project sponsors, fellowship amounts will be duly disbursed.

¶20
