WE ARE OF THE OPINION THAT RUSTICATION IS HURRIEDLY ISSUED WITHOUT GIVING THE PETITIONER AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND TO SUCH ACTION: HC
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Tuesday directed the state government to immediately release the 19-year-old engineering student from Pune who was arrested for allegedly posting objectionable content on social media regarding the recent military conflict between India and Pakistan. The court termed her arrest "shocking" and ordered the university to allow her to appear in the ongoing examination.
The student had approached the high court through advocate Farhana Shah, seeking redressal against the college's "arbitrary and unlawful" decision to rusticate her on May 9, 2025. She was later arrested and remanded in judicial custody, and her bail application was rejected by a judicial magistrate in Pune.
