The Kerala High Court yesterday ordered the Police to offer protection to the principal, staff and students of Gurudeva College of Advanced Studies, Koyilandi. The police were asked to make sure that the law and order is maintained in the college. The protection order was granted as the college is set to re-open on 4th July.
Justice Devan Ramachandran ordered:
“The police will ensure that discipline in the campus and outside are implicitly maintained, without any person, including the party respondents, being permitted to conduct themselves in violation of law”.
The Principal of the college, Dr. Sunil Bhaskaran had alleged that B. R. Abhinav, SFI Koyilandi area committee president who is not a student of the college assaulted him. The issue started when the Principal denied some students permission to set up a help desk on the campus on the first day of admission. 3 SFI members in the college have been suspended over the incident. The college has been closed since the incident.
Abhinav has also alleged that he was assaulted by Dr. Sunil. The Principal and Abhinav have filed police complaints regarding this.
The plea was moved by Advocates R. T. Pradeep, P. Bijimenon, M. Bindudas, Niranjan T. Pradeep
