Sixteen students suspended from Kerala Sanskrit University have filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the university’s decision to bar them from appearing in examinations.
Sixteen students who were suspended from Kerala Sanskrit University have approached the Supreme Court, seeking relief from a ban that prevents them from sitting for upcoming examinations. The petition argues that the university’s decision to deny them the right to appear in exams violates their educational rights and seeks an order to allow them to write the pending papers.
The university had earlier suspended the students on undisclosed grounds and subsequently barred them from participating in the semester examinations. The aggrieved students claim that the suspension and exam ban were imposed without due process and have therefore turned to the apex court for intervention.
The Supreme Court has registered the petition and is expected to hear the matter in the coming weeks. A decision from the court could have broader implications for student rights and disciplinary procedures in higher‑education institutions across the country.
