Kochi: The Kerala High Court has asked Kerala Law Academy, Law College, Thiruvananthapuram to re-admit a student, who obtained transfer due to an indefinite strike in the college, within two weeks. The court was considering a plea filed by L Inku Rahmath of Pattoor seeking a directive to the college to re-admit her to the second semester of the LLB five year course. According to the petitioner, she was admitted to the college during the academic year 2015-16 and completed her first semester course.
While pursuing her studies, there arose some general unrest among the students, and she decided to change the college for a better academic environment. Later she obtained a transfer certificate. The student approached another college and they agreed to give admission on condition that the university sanctioned an additional seat since there was no seat available for Second semester. However, since the additional seat could not be sanctioned, the University sent a communication to the Law college to grant re-admission to the student. But no action was taken by the college, the petitioner submitted.
The college submitted that the conduct of the petitioner during the first semester was highly objectionable because she created frequent and persistent trouble for various academic activities. "The petitioner cannot be re-admitted in the college", the authorities said. The court observed that the future of a student shall not be doomed at the hands of the Law College, Thiruvananthapuram. The college was duty bound to protect the interest of the student, the court observed.
