Hostel accomodation

Guest (Querist) 30 July 2014 This query is : Resolved
Good Evening Sir/Madam,
we (three students) are PhD scholar at a govt. engineering college. three batches (B.Tech 80 students, M.Tech 25 students, PhD 3 students)have been staying in this hostel since last year.
In this new academic session July 2014, chief warden of college published a notice on college website that B Tech and PhD scholars have to vacate these rooms in hostel while M. Tech students will stay in the same hostel.
B.Tech students have already shifted to new hostel but we, the PhD scholars did not vacate the hostel. hostel warden and the care taker of the hostel have unlocked our rooms in our absence. they have shifted our room stuff in store room and then told us about this thing.

could you please tell us that-

1. how much time we could get to vacate these rooms as per law.
2- they haven't given any notice in person, so can we take any action against this torture as M. tech students are staying in the same hostel and this rule was applied on only b.tech and PhD scholars.

3- we want to take legal action against hostel warden and the care taker as they have breached our rooms in our absence. some of my research work(hard file not soft copy, some important calculations had written on paper)is missing. i dint find my important research papers.
4- what can i do in this regard.

waiting for your reply.

Warden or care takers of Hostel can not pass any such order. It must have been passed by the Management and a reason must be given for this. Refer to that.
Since it is a matter of shifting of place of stay , prior notice at conspicuous place of the College/hostel is a necessity.
If bypassing that your staffs have been shifted then you can file criminal cases against the college authority.
If it is Govt. funded University then file Writ petition.

This is institution internal matter to allow the hostel and how?

You can lodge FIR if your valuables are stolen.
