Gujarat High Court Stays GNLU's Suspension Of Law Student From Hostel Over Alleged Misconduct

The Gujarat High Court stayed the suspension of a GNLU student from the hostel, issued due to alleged misconduct. The student, Gaurav Meena, was suspended following a recommendation from the Student Disciplinary Committee for non-cooperation. Meena had previously filed an anti-ragging complaint with the UGC, which led to an inquiry and a directive for the respondent to apologize. Meena claimed the UGC’s order was not complied with, prompting further communication. The Disciplinary Committee summoned Meena, but he requested rescheduling due to exams. Despite his attempts to meet the authorities, he was suspended. The High Court’s interim order reinstated Meena in his hostel room, pending further orders. The court noted the suspension notice and directed the university to reinstate Meena immediately. The case highlights issues of student rights and administrative procedures within educational institutions.
