Bombay HC Orders Directorate Of Higher Education To Look Into Allegations Of 'Institutional Casteism, Sexual Harassment' Within ILS Law College

Live Law  

The Bombay High Court on its administrative side has asked the Directorate of Higher Education, Pune to look into the allegations of 'institutional casteism, ragging, sexual harassment, hooliganism, favouritism and ill-treatment of minority students' levelled by over 118 students and alumni of the ILS Law College, Pune. In a letter addressed to the Directorate of the Higher Education on July 4, the Registrar Judicial of the Bombay High Court has requested the authority to “look into the grievances voiced by the students in their May 21 letter to the Chief Justice of the High Court, and act in accordance with law.” The Registrar has further asked the authority to communicate the action it proposes to take, to the complainant students, at the earliest. Over 118 students and alumni of the ILS Law College had written a letter to Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyay of Bombay High Court on May 21, alleging that students belonging to the Marathi Brahmin community are getting 'preferential treatment' as they are being appointed to various bodies of the college. The 7-page letter alleged that the ILS Law College has a history of inaction over sexual harassment cases within the college premises.
