Varsity to refund excess fee
CHENNAI, MAY 09, 2019 00:00 IST
Annamalai University has sought the bank account details of the medical and dental students of all batches of the Rajah Muthiah Medical College and the dental college affiliated to it. The move follows a contempt petition filed by students as the University failed to comply with the Supreme Court ruling.
The apex court had ordered refund of excess fee collected by the University in December. But the institution had taken no action and instead withheld the results of CRRI, PG and final year UG students who had not paid their fees.
As many as 189 students appealed to the Madras High Court which dismissed their case. The students then approached the Supreme Court. In December, the apex court had directed the college to collect fee as per the fee fixation committee. “But the college continued to levy the fee it had stipulated barring the first year students for whom it reduced the fee by one lakh rupees,” said a parent. “We brought this to the notice of the Supreme Court last week and the court said the University should refund the excess fee by Friday morning,” students said.
