MAHATMA GANDHI UNIVERSITY . vs ASHLY VARGHESE . — SLP(C) No. 6476/2007

Summary of SLP(C) No. 006476/2007 On 23 July 2010, the Supreme Court disposed of Mahatma Gandhi University's petition as infructuous since respondents Ashly Varghese and Dhivin Philip Perumal had been acquitted by the Trial Court. Concurrently, the Court allowed related appeals (SLP(C) Nos. 6480/6481) and set aside the High Court's orders that had directed the University to permit suspended students to attend classes pending disciplinary and criminal proceedings for a ragging incident on 21 October 2005. The Court held that High Court interim orders in academic matters create indiscipline and are inappropriate, particularly in serious cases involving charges under Section 376 IPC and the Kerala Prohibition of Ragging Act.
