The letter was sent to the college by DTE two month ago. According to the letter the fine was illegally imposed on the students which is against the norms under which the college is run. Therefore, the college was asked to refund the entire amount back to the students immediately. Also, the college will have to stop extracting further fine from students and in case this does not happen, the department is free to take action against the college under the Maharashtra Educational Institutions (Prohibition of Capitation Fee) Act, 1987.
