Calcutta High Court directs Jadavpur University to ensure eviction of former, passed-out students from hostels

Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court has directed the Jadavpur University (JU) authorities to ensure the eviction of all passed-out or former students or illegal occupants from the hostel rooms on campus within 24 hours, court sources said.

The division bench headed by Chief Justice T S Sivagnanam while hearing a PIL, ordered the JU to ensure room-to-room verification in the hostels meant for current students and identified all the former, passed-out, and illegal occupants to move out without further delay.

The other judge on the bench, Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, made the observation on Tuesday, asking the JU management to ensure order and get those vacant within 24 hours.

Meanwhile, the final report placed by Jadavpur University's internal probe panel has recommended the expulsion of four students for being involved in ragging the first-year undergraduate student, who died on August 10 after a fall from the main hostel's 3rd floor in the night on August 9.

The panel also recommended the suspension of 31 students for either alleged ragging by other juniors or for indirectly supporting the hostel's "ragging culture", sources said.

The periods of suspension would vary between one to four semesters.

The probe panel's report indicated the 18-year-old village boy was a victim of alleged ragging. It also pointed out that a ragging culture was in vogue at the main hostel.

'After verifying with many boarders and freshers, the panel observed in its final report that it was not only freshers, but even some second-years who were being ragged on August 9."

The police investigating the unnatural death have arrested 13 suspects since August 11.
