The Kerala high court has quashed the decision of a college in Kerala to oust a male and a female student for eloping over a love affair.
The court held that the college authorities failed to understand the intimate personal relationship is the matter of privacy of individuals upon which it has no authority to interfere. It issued the orders on the petition filed by Malavika Babu, BBA student at CHMM College for Advanced Studies, Varkala and her senior Vyshak, who are 20 and 21-year-old respectively, challenging the decision of the college.
“Love is blind and an innate humane instinct. It is all about individuals and their freedom’, it said. In the absence of evidence, that it had affected the classes conducted by the college or the congenial environment for learning, no action can be taken on the ground of indiscipline.
“Love is all about the individual and their freedom.”
In this case, the college authorities as well as their parents objected to their affair. Finding barriers placed on their affair, Malavika eloped with Vyshak. A missing person complaint was lodged by Malavika’s mother and later the police produced them before the magistrate.
But the court set her free as she was not wrongfully detained. The parents of Malavika retracted from the opposition and supported their marriage. Now the students are husband and wife. However, the approach of the college was indifferent and decided to expel them citing the reason that their acts amount to gross indiscipline.
The court directed the Kerala University to re-admit Malavika within two weeks and directed the college to return the records of Vyshak.
