'Anti-national' slogan: Ouster of student stayed
The New Indian Express Vellore
|June 01, 2025
THE Madras High Court has stayed the rustication order issued by the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development (RGNIYD) in Sriperumbudur near here against a student, who was ousted from the institute for alleged defacement of the hostel property with content of "anti-national" nature, and ordered the institute to allow him to take his final year examinations and participate in the placement programme.
Justice T V Thamilselvi issued the order on Thursday on a petition filed by S Aslam, a final year student of Master of Social Work, who had alleged that the enquiry by the institute regarding the defacement was conducted in an "arbitrary and illegal manner".
The RGNIYD, functioning under the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sport, took the stringent measure against Aslam and two other students last Sunday (May 25), following an inspection of some of the hostel rooms after an enquiry triggered by slogans such as "Jai Bhim" and "Free Palestine" found on the hostel wall. Sayeedh M A and Nahal Ibnu Abullaise, pursuing the same course, were the other two who faced the punishment.
The high court's order pertained to Aslam who had filed the petition.
