'Education To Girl Child Is Nation's Asset'; Madras HC Upholds Termination Of Principal For Indulging In Homo-Sexual Activities With Students [Read Judgment]

Live Law  

The Madras High Court upheld the termination of the Principal of Dharmapuri District Co-operative Sugar Mills Polytechnic, who was accused of indulging in homo-sexual activities with the polytechnic students and making filthy remarks against teaching staff, apart from other administrative wrongdoings. That apart, the petitioner had also made derogatory remarks, writing in filthy language against the teaching staff in the notice board and had allowed the students to read, which would establish that the petitioner is unfit to continue as the Principal of the Polytechnic Institute," Justice M Duraiswamy said. The court relied on the ruling in Avinash Nagra v. Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti & Ors., 1997 SCC 534, whereby the Apex Court had made crucial observations with regards sexual harassment of students at college, specifically girl students, perpetrated by college staff. Education to the girl children is nation's asset and foundation for fertile human resources and disciplined family management, apart from their equal participation in socio-economic and political democracy.
