Quashing an FIR registered against 28 students of a private engineering college who were involved in a clash, the Madras high court has directed them to clean the general ward of the K A P Viswanatham Government Medical College at Trichy.
Justice A D Jagadish Chandira who heard the petition filed by the students to quash the FIR which registered against them also directed them to get a certificate from the dean of the college after cleaning the ward and posted the case for reporting compliance on February 26.
In July 2019, a clash broke out between two groups of students from a private college at Trichy. The clash was over a wordy duel between the fourth and third year students after the former questioned the latter for allegedly teasing the women students. The students started assaulting each other using beer bottles and wooden logs.
Following this incident, the E Pudur police registered a case against the students under Section 147 (punishment for rioting) and 148 (rioting, armed with a deadly weapon), 323 (Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 324 (Voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means), Section 294(b) and 506 (ii) (Punishment for criminal intimidation, whoever commits, the offence of criminal intimidation shall be punished with imprisonment) of the IPC.
Both the groups agreed to a compromise and moved the high court Madurai bench seeking to quash the FIR which was registered against them.
