The JNU has withdrawn the rules that stipulated students can face rustication and a fine of Rs 50,000 for physical violence, abuse and holding dharna on campus. The 10-page document, ‘Rules of Discipline and proper conduct of students of JNU’, had laid out punishments for different kinds of acts like protests and forgery, and procedures for proctorial enquiry. “I was not aware of such a circular. The chief proctor did not consult me before releasing the document. I got to know about the document through newspapers. That is why, I have withdrawn it,” VC Santishree Pandit told PTI.
