HC stays RDVV late fee order for Katni college
Bhopal/Jabalpur: The
MP high court
has stayed
Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya
's (RDVV) decision to impose a 25 per cent late fee on
Katni Degree College
for depositing its
affiliation fee
. The court directed the university to reopen its portal, and allow the college to pay the fee without the penalty by May 5.
The court also issued notices to the university and other respondents in the case.
Lal Mathura Das Education Society, which runs the college, argued that they were supposed to deposit Rs 17 lakh as affiliation fee for the academic session 2025-26. They could not deposit the fee on time because of erratic information on the portal.
The university administration has now imposed a 25 per cent of the original fee as a late fee and asked to deposit the amount by May 5.
Following initial arguments, a bench of justice Sanjeev Sachdeva and justice Vinay Saraf stayed the order of the RDVV administration.
