What is this about?
The court partly allowed writ petitions challenging cancellation of academic status and recovery orders.

What did the court decide?
The recovery portion of the impugned orders was quashed; respondents directed to settle retirement benefits of the petitioner in W.P.(MD)No.12687 of 2023 within 16 weeks.
