The Kerala high court on Friday asked 10 students involved in a ragging case to conduct an anti-ragging campaign in their college to consider their plea to quash the criminal case filed against them.
Justice B Sudheendra Kumar gave the directive on a petition filed by students of Indira Gandhi College of Science and Technology at Mambaram, Kannur, against whom police had registered a case for ragging and assaulting a first-year student. The students cited an out-of-court settlement with the victim to quash the case.
The accused and their parents had appeared in the court on Friday as sought by the judge. The court asked them to conduct an anti-ragging campaign in the college after their exams, which will be over by February 21, in association with the Kannur Legal Services Authority. It said the decision on quashing the criminal case would be based on the authority chairman's report. The case has been posted to April 2 for further hearing.
The judge advised the students and parents to ensure that the future is not spoiled by getting involved in such cases. He said the community would take notice of an anti-ragging campaign conducted by them.
