"The institutions/faculty who are filing cases arraying JNTU-H as respondent and if such cases result in favour of JNTU-H and also if such cases, in the opinion of JNTU-H, are frivolous and vexatious, in such an event, JNTU-H shall impose legal expenditure incurred upon such parties by JNTU-H," read a varsity circular.
