Examine whether ragging laws need a change, HC tells Kerala government

National

The Kerala high court on Wednesday underlined the need to frame rules under the Kerala Prohibition of Ragging Act, 1998 to deal with ragging offences in educational institutions, adding that the current state legislation was inadequate.

The HC orally asked the state government to look into amending the existing law especially in the backdrop of the University Grants Commission (UGC) bringing out new guidelines in recent years and directing colleges and universities to activate anti-ragging committees.

The special bench of chief justice Nitin Jamdar and justice C Jayachandran made the observations while hearing a plea filed by Kerala Legal Service Authority (KeLSA) requesting stringent directions to curb ragging offences in the state.
