But the orders sent to students have no such ambiguity. They all end with “This has the approval of the V-C”. They also quote from the ‘Rules of discipline and proper conduct of students ’, one clause which gives the V-C a long reign, where students are prohibited from engaging in “any other act which may be considered by the V-C or any other competent authority to be an act of violation of discipline and conduct.” This section has been applied to Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya, Rama Naga, Mujeeb Gattoo, Ashutosh, Chintu Kumari and Shweta Raj.
