Summary AI is born, the news room has been reviewed.
The apex court upheld the decision to suspend the student.
The suspension period had already been reduced by two years.
Ramdas faced suspension for alleged misconduct and participation in protest.
New Delhi:
The Supreme Court on Friday suspended a decision of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) to suspend Dalit PhD scholar Ramjas KS for its alleged misconduct and anti-national activities, but already rested in this period.
A bench, including Justices Dipankar Dutta and Manmohan, reduced the period of suspension of PhD scholar from two years to Friday.
On April 17, 2024, a Tis Strong Committee suspended Ramaj from the institute for two years and removed its entry into all its complexes.
The bench noted the presentation of advocate Rajiv Kumar Pandey, who appeared for TIS, and used documents that inspired the committee to suspend the scholar for two years.
The bench, which did not separate the order of suspension, noted the fact that the Ramjas was doing PhD from the institution and it should be allowed to be abolished.
Pandey mentioned the record and argued the alleged misconduct of the research scholar that the Bombay High Court was correct in not interfering in suspension.
The Empowerment Committee decided against Ramaj, represented by senior advocate S. Muralidhar, and found him in violation of the Samman Code, Rules and TIS regulation and banned them for two years.
On March 12, the Bombay High Court dismissed the petition of the Ramajas, in which his suspension was challenged by TIS, after which he stepped into the apex court.
The scholar was suspended for his participation in a demonstration at Jantar Mantar in Delhi and a documentary screening about the Ayodhya dispute.
TISS alleged that he broke his rules by participating in “politically motivated protests” despite being supported by the scholarship funded by the Central Government for Scheduled Caste students.
“In … in facts and circumstances, after considering the content on the record, we do not find that the report of the committee suspending the petitioner for two years suffers from any deformity or illegality. The suspension report and the resulting action is based on the material available on records and it is equally.
Ramdas first nominated TIST in 2015, for the master’s degree in media and cultural studies, and was also awarded scholarship by the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.
In 2017, he enrolled in the integrated MPhil and PhD program in the development study, but postponed the entry for one year and joined in 2018.
He successfully completed the MPhil degree in 2021.
On 8 February 2023, he was awarded a National Fellowship for Scheduled Caste students based on his performance in the UGC-NET exam.
