The protesters have alleged that due to the "non-facilitative" implementation of CAS, or Career Advancement Scheme, they are facing several issues like delays in promotions and loss of service of up to four years resulting in loss of pay, which has forced a number of members to approach the court.

"The recent data collected by AUDFA shows that regressive and non-facilitative implementation of CAS rules at AUD has most adversely affected faculty who are at the stage of Assistant Professors.
