On April 23, hundreds of current and former students from ILS Law College in Pune, Maharashtra, submitted applications for refunds of fees they claim were collected illegally. This movement follows a directive from the Directorate of Higher Education, which ordered the college to refund ₹1.04 lakh to former student Mayur Garud. Garud's complaint, based on Right to Information (RTI) documents, alleged that the college was collecting fees under 'unapproved heads'. Earlier this year, the Bombay High Court instructed the Directorate to investigate Garud's complaint, leading to the recent refund order. Students reported that over 500 individuals attempted to file their refund applications, with many facing difficulties due to a strike by government workers. Dr. Ashok Ubale, Joint Director of Higher Education, confirmed that several applications have been received and will be reported to the government. As of now, the college has not provided a public response to the allegations.
