| Monday | 1st April, 2019

Meanwhile, registrar RB Ram said, “I have not officially received the document, and will reply when I get it.” Lucknow: Union ministry of human resources and development (MHRD) has directed Dr Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University ( BBAU ) vice-chancellor Prof Sanjay Singh to make recovery of undue payments of over Rs 65 lakh to former V-C Prof RC Sobti. In addition, BBAU released payments of Rs 26.27 lakh as gratuity, leave encashment and central provident fund which were against BBAU Act and Government of India rules.BBAU V-C Sanjay Singh said that action will be taken as per rules. It has also asked for strict disciplinary action against officers responsible for releasing the payment against rules.In the letter (TOI has a copyof it ), MHRD said that it had directed BBAU registrar RB Ram on January 21, 2019 to recover payments made as pay allowances and terminal benefits to Prof Sobti, but in his reply dated February 22, 2019, the registrar said the dues should be recovered by Panjab University where he served as professor and was drawing pension.Declining the argument, MHRD further said that the registrar RB Ram, while holding additional charge of finance officer in April 2018 had released the payments to Prof Sobti in violation of rules, which amounts to favouritism on his part.“Since huge undue payments have been made by the university itself, therefore, this stand is not acceptable and it is incumbent upon the university to recover all the undue payments made to Prof Sobti,” it said.The MHRD further pointed out that Prof Sobti drew full salary entitled to him as V-C during his term in BBAU along with pension from Punjab University from where he retired after serving as professor.
