\u201c\u2026managements have managed to pay the salaries to the teachers and the<\/p>\n

non teaching staff from their available reserve funds till date. This<\/p>\n

the process cannot go on endlessly. \u201c<\/p>\n

Court in order to clear the logjam and strike a balance of interest of all the stakeholders, issued the following directions:<\/p>\n
