HC dismisses plea of student

May 03, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:41 am IST - MADURAI:

The Madras High Court Bench here has dismissed a writ petition filed by a third-year mechanical engineering student in Tuticorin district who was reportedly prevented from writing examinations for having indulged in a violent protest and damaged college property following a suicide bid by a female student after she was reprimanded for indulging in malpractice during internal examinations. Stating that the student should face the enquiry by the college, Justice S. Vaidyanathan said: “There would be some emotional outburst from him on seeing the sufferings of his fellow student but it does not mean that he is empowered to act in a violent manner.”
