February 14, 2025 at 1:34 pmI’m doing B.Tech at a state government college in Chhattisgarh and staying in a hostel.The mess food here is so disgusting that more than half the students stopped eating there and switched to tiffin services. But now, the hostel authorities are forcing us to rejoin and eat their shitty food. Theyโre saying that whether we eat from the mess or not, we still have to pay the full bill, plus a three-month advance!
Before college started, they told us weโd only have to pay for the days we ate and could submit a leave application to get the bill adjusted. But that was complete nonsense! Now, theyโre charging every student the same amount, even if someone submits an application. Theyโre scamming us!
What legal action can we take against this? -

February 14, 2025 at 2:10 pmDon’t pay. Visit the college principal and complain with a written letter.If it doesn’t work, file a complaint with the local students body like abvp or other local mla / mps.
Last resort should be court.

February 14, 2025 at 2:24 pmFile an RTI through a 3rd party (friend etc) who cannot be linked back to you. Ask for the policy. Use that as basis of action. -

Check your hostel terms and conditions. What they “said” or what you “heard” is irrelevant. Only what you agreed to in writing matters.
