Sixteen suspended students of Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit in Kalady, Kerala, have approached the Supreme Court challenging a High Court order that prevents them from writing their examinations.
The move comes after a legal setback for the students, who had initially secured relief from a single-judge bench of the Kerala High Court. The bench had allowed them to appear for the examinations. However, university authorities challenged the order before a Division Bench, which subsequently stayed it.
The university had refused to let the students sit for their examinations, citing insufficient attendance.
The latest legal battle has added another dimension to a campus protest led by the Students' Federation of India (SFI), which has continued for nearly 90 days.
The suspended students have been at the centre of the agitation, with some facing suspensions of around 60 days.
The university took disciplinary action against them over an SFI-led protest during a syndicate meeting. The students were accused of manhandling the Vice-Chancellor during the demonstration.
The protest, however, has been about more than disciplinary action. SFI has raised several demands, including appointments to vacant teaching posts and concerns over students not receiving printed certificates.
Another point of friction between the students and university authorities was a drama staged as part of the agitation.
The university alleged that the students had organised a mock funeral of the Vice-Chancellor. The protesters, however, disputed this account, saying the performance was about the lack of basic campus facilities, particularly lighting. They maintained that the funeral depicted in the play was that of the lights, not the Vice-Chancellor.
The agitation has also moved beyond the university campus. SFI students recently staged a play outside the Kerala Secretariat, targeting the state government and university officials over the ongoing dispute.
With the students now approaching the Supreme Court, the immediate question is whether they will be allowed to write their examinations. The nearly three-month-long agitation has also brought wider concerns about campus facilities, disciplinary action and student representation into focus.
