In a fresh letter to Sanyal, SIS president Damodar Sahoo termed the earlier removal order a result of "misunderstanding" and requested that it be treated as "null and void." He also acknowledged Sanyal's response to concerns raised in the earlier communication.

"I came to know and became satisfied that, as Chancellor, you have taken steps to protect and enhance the glory of GIPE. This misunderstanding arose due to a lack of communication between you and the Servants of India Society," Sahoo stated in the letter.

Sahoo further said that he had consulted with fellow trustees, who were unanimous in their view that the earlier removal letter ought to be withdrawn with immediate effect.
