ORDER1. This set of five petitions relate to an Order of rustication passed by the Principal of the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar College, Bangalore against the five petitioners on 20-11-1995. The petrs, are all Medical Students prosecuting their studies with the college in question and the Respondent Principal had passed the order on the ground that the petrs, have involved themselves in serious acts of misconduct/indiscipline.
