However, considering the loop holes and other discrepancies, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Rajasthan was directed to appear through VC, and had submitted that the impugned FIR was made to be registered sans requisite sanction of permission of the competent authorities. It was also noted that as on date the complainant Shri Harishankar Palsaniya is superannuated and any compromise which is entered into by him would be in his personal capacity without permission of the authorities as no sanction to enter into a compromise qua any such incident is granted by the Vice Chancellor of the University. 3. Today, when the matter is called the complainant has marked the presence in the Court and has submitted that the said FIR was made to be registered ignoring the legal fundamentals and being novice. However, it is assured that such activity/step of entering into a compromise or lodging an FIR without due sanction shall not be repeated by him. [2025:RJ-JP:17049] (3 of 4) [CRLMP-1969/2025] 4.

Further the following facts are deemed to be noteworthy: 6.1. The allegations noted in the FIR pertain to a group of students/persons who have locked the gate of the Administrative Block of the University of Rajasthan for whatsoever reasons. 6.2. The complainant herein is stated to be an ex-professor who at the time of incidence was the In-charge of Disciplinary Committee, however had lodged the impugned FIR in ignorance of law, without attaining requisite sanction from the competent authorities. 6.3. It can be deduced that the alleged offence is of serious in nature; effects public at large moreover lakhs of students who are enrolled or connected from/with the said University; that the alleged offence per se breaches the tranquility and peace of society and gives a negative influence to the spectators. 6.4. It is informed that the investigation in furtherance to the impugned FIR is at a steady peace and as on date one of the accused is arrested. [2025:RJ-JP:17049] (4 of 4) [CRLMP-1969/2025] 7. Taking note of the aforementioned and the fact that the compromise is entered sans any appropriate lawful backing and the FIR was made to be registered and ignorance of law, this Court is of the view that the instant compromise cannot be affirmed and acknowledged by the Court or any other judicial body. 8. Accordingly, the police authorities are directed to proceed further with the investigation, strictly in accordance with law, as deemed essential. Additionally, appropriate measures be taken in order to prevent such offences by persons like students, as the allegations in hand leave a lasting impact on public at large, are unwarranted and per-se unauthorized. 9.
