They also prayed for a consequential direction to the respondents to accommodate the willing students of the 5th respondent in other colleges of the 7th respondent to complete their course, after directing the 5th respondent to transfer their fees to the 7th respondent. 3. Having noticed that the incident had occurred only in view of certain news item which created panic among the students undergoing these courses, this Court, by an order dated 19.04.2010, issued certain directions for the conduct of the examination for some of the students and permission to attend classes for some of the students.

Muthukumarasamy, learned Senior counsel appearing for the respondent Saveetha University would submit that though the University intends to take severe action against those students whose names are shown in the annexures 1 to 3, having regard to the fact that most of the students are outstation students and particularly coming from the State of Bihar, even in respect of students whose names are shown in annexure 1 and 2, the fine amount is reduced to Rs.3,000/- and Rs.25,000/- each respectively. He would further submit that out of 16 students whose names are shown in annexure 3, enquiry report in report of those students shown in S1. Nos. 2, 5, 10, 11, 12 and 15 reveals that these students have indulged not only in damaging the property but they have also assaulted the teachers and staff and, therefore, the University is proposing to take severe action. Nos. 2, 5, 10, 11, 12 and 15 reveals that these students have indulged not only in damaging the property but they have also assaulted the teachers and staff and, therefore, the University is proposing to take severe action. Rest of the 10 students whose names are shown in the annexure is concerned, learned Senior Counsel would submit that the University is proposing to impose a sum of Rs. 30,000/- as fine. 5. On the above affidavit and as to the nature of the fine and proposed action to be taken, we have heard Ms. R. Vaigai, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners. She would submit that there is no objection for imposition of fine in respect of those students whose names are found in annexure I and II. Learned counsel would further submit that she has no objection for the University imposing a fine of Rs. 30,000/- on those 10 students whose names are shown in Annexure III. As far as the remaining six students are concerned she would request this Court to take a sympathetic view and treat them on par with the other 10 students. 6. We have carefully considered the above submissions. As the issue is narrow down only in respect of imposition of fine, we are not dealing elaborately with the question as to whether the petitioner can question the enquiry proceedings or not and that too when the enquiry was initiated by the University to maintain discipline in the educational institutions. Similarly, the question as to whether the enquiry is contemplated for any valid reason or not also need not be gone into. 7. Ms. R. Vaigai, learned counsel would submit that though the writ petition is filed only by three of the students, she is appearing for all the students whose names are shown in Annexure I to III and this order shall govern all the students and all the students will comply with the directions. In view of the above submissions, we dispose of W.P. No. 7860 of 2008 with a direction to the students, whose names are shown in Annexure I, to pay a sum of Rs. 3,000/- each as fine. Likewise, we direct those students whose names are shown in Annexure II to pay a sum of Rs. 25,000/-each as fine. In view of the above submissions, we dispose of W.P. No. 7860 of 2008 with a direction to the students, whose names are shown in Annexure I, to pay a sum of Rs. 3,000/- each as fine. Likewise, we direct those students whose names are shown in Annexure II to pay a sum of Rs. 25,000/-each as fine. We further direct those 10 students whose names are shown in Annexure III and those students which we have referred in the earlier portion of the order to pay a fine of Es. 30,000/-. On such payment the University would allow each of the student to continue and complete their respective courses or be allowed to take up their examinations and those students who have already completed the course must be issued with the necessary certificates. Along with the payment of fine, each student shall file an affidavit stating that they will not indulge in similar activities in the educational institution hereafter and that they will maintain utmost discipline. In so far as the remaining six students are concerned, it is open to the respondents University to proceed with the enquiry and deal with them separately in accordance with law. If any punishment is imposed on those students, it would be open to those students to question the same before the appropriate forum in accordance with law. Lastly, we make it clear that the payment of fine by each of the students shall not be treated as a stigma for their future career and this order shall not be treated as aproproval of the enquiry report by this court. 8. W.P. No: 14036 of 2010 is filed by one of the student whose name is found in Annexure II and W.P. No: 21260 of 2010 is also filed by another student whose name is found in Annexure II. Since the order passed by us in W.P. No: 7860 of 2010 covers the relief sought for in these two writ petitions, we are not passing separate orders in these two writ petitions and both these writ petitions shall stand disposed of in terms of the order passed in W.P. No: 7860 of 2010. 9. M.P. Nos: 8 and 9 of 2010 is filed by some of the individual students, through counsel Mr. S.M. Loganathan and Mr. R. Anbukarasu to implead those petitioners as party respondents in W.P. No: 7860 of 2010. 9. M.P. Nos: 8 and 9 of 2010 is filed by some of the individual students, through counsel Mr. S.M. Loganathan and Mr. R. Anbukarasu to implead those petitioners as party respondents in W.P. No: 7860 of 2010. As our earlier order passed by us in W.P. No: 7860 of 2010 would cover these students also, there is no question of issuing any further direction in these miscellaneous petitions and accordingly, these petitions are closed. Other connected miscellaneous petitions are also closed.
