Talking to The Pioneer NUSRl Registrar Aloke Kumar Sengupta said, “In the court of the Chief Justice Prakash C Tatia on Wednesday, the state government has asked for some more time to consider over this matter. It is because of this reason, the date has been extended to May 15.” The law cradle requires Rs 100.31 crores for its first phase construction and Rs 85.55 crores for the second phase expansion at its 54 acres Nagri campus. The total amount roughly comes to Rs 186 crores of which Rs 50 crores is already provided by the State Government. The university is approaching the government to provide approximately V150.
