Bus day: HC asks student to plant 10 saplings

Chennai:

TheMadrashighcourt has directed a law college student to plant 10 saplings on his college campus, ensure that they are watered at least for a month and report it to the principal as a condition to quash an FIR registered against him for creating nuisance by participating in a bus day celebration.

Justice M S Ramesh passed the direction while allowing the plea moved by E Durai Raj, a second year law student of Dr Ambedkar Government Law College, Pudupakkam.

As the petitioner is a student whose career should not be affected in future and on account of his involvement in a criminal case, the court is of the view that the proceedings could be quashed with a condition that the petitioner undertake social service, so that the ends of justice could be secured, Justice Ramesh said. According to the petitioner, he was accused of offences under Sections 143, 290 of IPC and an FIR was registered against him for allegedly involving in bus day celebration of ‘Pachaiyappa College, 47A – ICF route’. The petitioner submitted that he was wrongly implicated in the case as he is a student of government law college and not of Pachaiyappa’s College. He produced his college identity card as proof for his submission.

Recording his submission, the judge said though the petitioner is a student of law college, his presence during the celebration near Pachaiyappa’s College was not disputed and passed the order. TNN
