New Delhi: The Jawaharlal Nehru University administration on Friday revoked its order expelling five of its students who were involved in stopping the sale of prospectus. The decision was announced by Chief Proctor H B Bohidar who said, "all rustications have been revoked. Vice-Chancellor B B Bhattacharya has pardoned the students on the understanding that henceforth, their agitation will be democratic and peaceful."

The issue was probed by a five-member committee who, according to the students, agreed to revoke the order after the students apologised. The panel had submitted its report 10 days ago.

After the declaration, Sandeep Singh, JNUSU president and one of the students who had been rusticated, said that now, they are looking forward to a meaningful dialogue with the administration on the price hike of prospectus. "The JNU administration had said that they would constitute a high-level committee to look into the matter. We are waiting for that to happen," he said.
