New Delhi: A
parliamentary panel has recommended imposing maximum penalty of
Rs.1 crore on technical and medical institutions that charge
capitation fee.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Human Resource Development
recommended different penalties for different offences in a report
on the Prohibition of Unfair Practices in Technical Educational
Institutions, Medical Educational Institutions and Universities
Bill.
"A major and minor violation cannot be treated as equal and a
uniform amount of penalty for all types of offences is against the
principle of natural justice," the panel observed.
The panel asked the department to work out the amount of penalty
on a case-to-case basis and not on a uniform basis.
It, however, added that smaller capitation fees should not be
treated with less seriousness.
