Funding anti corruption fight @ MACT/MANIT

The next hearing of the case in court is 17th of March. That means we have less than 10 days to pay the lawyer to represent Teacher's of MANIT in HC.
We have been informed that currently MANIT staff is 2.5 Lakhs short of fund to approach the lawyer.

Btw, as per Grapevine Mr. Pandey shelled out 15 lakhs for the hotshot advocate who represented him to get a stay from HC. Also to note is the fact that MANIT Lawyer is a govt. advocate and not in league with the defense advocate.

Please take this as a SOS call and spread the word.
----------------------------------

Time has come for action, so long we have been arm-chair critics and "Anonymous" commentators on the state of affairs in our Alma Matter. We should all come out in strong support for the cause of "Save MANIT".
Please see the message below. Please contribute generously for this cause. I know we will still find excuse for not being a party to change. We will talk about recession and about the initiative being a facade for money laundering and a million more reasons. This is the time to repay the institute which for better or worse, still plays an important part in deciding what you are today.

Dear Friends,

All of us are aware of the sordid state of affairs which led to the dismissal of the Director, MANIT a couple of weeks back.

The joy was shortlived as the sacked Director has been reinstated by a court stay.

Apparently, he has hired a hot shot lawyer to represent him.

The staff at MANIT requires funding for engaging an eminent lawyer from Delhi to fight the case.

I appeal to all to extend support by donating generously to this cause.
