HC deletes contentious para from verdict
21/08/2019
“Now, there is a general feeling
amongst the parents of students, especially female students that
co-educational study in Christian institutions is highly unsafe for the
future of their children and though they impart good education, the
preach of morality will be a million dollar question. As long as a
religion is practised in streets in lieu of its worship places, like
temple, mosque, church etc., such devastation, as in the present case,
does (sic) occur and will be mushrooming.”
The controversial lines led to an uproar with the Tamil Nadu Bishops’ Council, Tamil Nadu Latin Bishops’ Council, All India Democratic Women’s Association, Indian Christian Association of Tamil Nadu and a section of advocates insisting that the observations be withdrawn. In the same verdict, the judge also stated that several women-centric enactments were being misused to teach a lesson to men in strained relationships.
“This is the right time to think of suitable amendments in those laws in order to safeguard the interest of the innocent masculinity (sic) too,” the judge had said and directed the High Court Registry to mark a copy of his judgment to the Union Ministry of Law and Justice. These observations continue to remain a part of the order.
