VARSITY CAN PUNISH STUDENTS OVER DISCIPLINE
New Delhi: Any immoral act committed by a student either in the institution’s premise or out of it would be considered breach of discipline, Delhi High Court said. The judgement was issued by Justice Vikram Sen after a student registered a complaint with the court. The court said it is objectionable if a student does an immoral or criminal act even outside the institution. The court further said the university has a right to punish students for breach of discipline, be it in the university campus or outside.
