Lucknow University imposes fine of Rs 20,000 on B.A student for shocking reason!
A Lucknow University (LU) student was asked to pay a fine of Rs 20,000 after he ate the food from a mess without permission.
Yes, you read right! The varsity has imposed a fine of Rs 20,000 on B.A second-year student for having a meal at the central mess without being authorized to do so. Also, he has been asked to submit an affidavit on Rs 100 stamp paper.
As per the media reports, the incident took place on September 3 when a student named Ayush Singh, a day scholar, went to the central mess of the varsity to eat the food. As per the varsity rules, only hostellers are eligible to eat the meals in the central mess.
"Someone informed the proctor who came and caught hold of the student having his meal. Ayush Singh immediately apologized and said that he was feeling very hungry and, therefore, had the meal. He also promised not to break the rules in the future," said a student.
Proctor, Prof Vinod Kumar Singh, served a notice to Ayush Singh and had asked him to deposit the amount of the fine within a week or he will have to face further disciplinary action.
The proctor said that the student had been frequently taking meals in the central mess under fake names in the register.
However, the students are unhappy with the action of the administration. “He has apologized and if the authorities wanted, they could have asked him to pay for the meal. Asking him to pay Rs 20,000 is unfair because one eats only when one is hungry. Ayush did not take away anything from the university,” said a group of students, who are supporting Ayush.
