MAHATMA GANDHI UNIVERSITY . vs SHERIN . — C.A. No. 5894/2010

Case Summary: Mahatma Gandhi University v. Sherin (C.A. 5894/2010) The Supreme Court allowed Mahatma Gandhi University's appeals and set aside the High Court's orders directing the University to permit suspended students to attend classes pending disciplinary and criminal proceedings. The students were charged with serious offences including ragging and offences under Section 376 IPC following a October 2005 incident. The Court held that interim orders in academic matters undermine institutional discipline and are destructive to education standards; the University authority—not courts—should decide disciplinary action for ragging cases.
