The university had suspended five students and imposed the fine on the students in connection with a protest held by students on May 18 at VC’s residence over conduct of Sukoon, an annual cultural festival. The students union said the university administration revoked the suspension after a meeting held with them on Saturday.

Appreciating the university’s decision to revoke suspension, the students union said a total of Rs.75,000 fine levied on students was an outrageous amount to demand from students who do not have a source of earning. The students union condemned the decision to impose fines and rejected such punitive attacks on students who protested for their rights.
