Patna High Court LPA No.1497 of 2014 dt.05-05-2017 2/2 which has been recorded with regard to the conduct of the appellant while working as Acting Vice-Chancellor, let off with nominal kind of cost being imposed upon him. If there is misuse of power and position by the authority then the system cannot be burdened by imposition of cost payable by the institution. No interference is warranted in the appeal. It is dismissed.
