he Delhi High Court on Friday set aside the Jawaharlal Nehru University's (JNU) July 4 order slapping a fine of Rs 10,000 on former JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar, holding that the penal action suffered from procedural impropriety, illegality and irrationality.

The former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union leader was held guilty of violating the disciplinary norms and asked to pay the fine by the university in connection with a 2016 incident on the campus wherein anti-India slogans were raised.
