FIR no reason for rejection at college: HC

Madurai:29.10.2019

Observing that mere pendency of FIRs cannot come in the way of a student pursuing education, the Madras high court has directed Karur government arts college to admit a student who was denied admission to a PG course on that ground.

Petitioner K Surandhran, whose parents are agricultural labourers, had enrolled for BA History at the college from 2016-2019. After completing the course, he applied for pursing MA History at the college. He said that though he had a good score in the undergraduation course, his name did not figure in the list of eligible candidates published on July 12. When he inquired about it, the college informed him that he has not been selected owing to a communication from the police that FIRs were pending against him.

Though he submitted two representations to the authorities concerned, there was no response. Hence he moved the Madurai bench of the high court seeking to direct the principal of Karur government arts college to grant him admission to MA History course.
