commission has recommended action against the then Vice Chancellor of Tertiraj Khaniyan, Rector Sudha Tripathi and Registrar Dilli Upreti for acting against the law. The commission is of the opinion that Khanian, Tripathi and Upreti have given their relationship in a way that brings the university and the government into disrepute while they are still in office. It has been said that the reason for taking action against them is, "They have given a relationship in such a way as to bring dishonor to their own university and the government of Nepal."

It was recommended to be removed from membership.

Taraprasad Sapkota, another member of the Executive Council and Dean of the Faculty of Law, was asked to be removed from both positions.

Commission has recommended that the former vice-chancellor of TRI, Hira Bahadur Maharjan, should not be appointed in any government or semi-government body in the future. Since the university's medical academic council refused to grant affiliation to more medical colleges due to personal pressure, its secretariat published a notice in Gorkhapatra Daily on 10.6.2070 and asked for applications from the medical colleges that wanted to get affiliation and action has been taken as the authority of the academic council has been taken away. It is mentioned that Maharjan ignored the decision taken by the meeting of experts held in the presence of Chancellor and Prime Minister Sushil Koirala on October 24, 2071.

It is said that when the commission inquires about the medical college affiliation process by giving a wrong and incomplete report, there may be a problem in maintaining the faculty during the follow-up after 5 years amid the uncertainty of whether the related college will be affiliated or not. Despite the statement that it would be a problem to maintain teaching faculty in the college, only the hospital building in the middle of the densely populated area was found to be empty.
