Thiruvananthapuram: The syndicate affiliation sub-committee of the Kerala University found truth in the complaints levelled against the Law Academy Law College. The students had complained about the bias in awarding internal marks and attendance. The panel which recorded the statements of the students for the past three days would submit its report to the syndicate on Saturday. The sub-committee will ask the syndicate to decide on the nature of the action against the college though it has not given any specific recommendations on it.
The syndicate will also look into the complaints relating to the affiliation of the college and the violation of the lease agreement entered into with the government on the utilisation of land. Syndicate members R. Latha Devi and Johnson Abraham had sought an inquiry into these complaints also. Meanwhile, a section of ABVP activists made a suicide attempt by climbing atop the flat owned by the academy. However, they were persuaded to climb down from the building.
The BJP on Friday decided to intensify its stir with former state president V. Muraleedharan turning his 48-hour hunger strike, that was to end by noon on Friday, into an indefinite one. State Human Rights Commission acting chairperson P. Mohanakumar expressed dissatisfaction over the failure of the police to register a case though a complaint was submitted on January 21. The commission wanted the government to order an inquiry by a police officer not less than the rank of a DySP and submit a report before March 2. It also asked Law Academy chairman N. Narayanan Nair and principal Lakshmy Nair to submit affidavits on the issue.
