The Kerala High Court on Tuesday directed that a special bench be constituted for hearing a plea moved by the state's legal services authority KeLSA seeking effective implementation of anti-ragging laws and the establishment of a mechanism to monitor instances of ragging.
The plea came up for hearing before a bench of Chief Justice Nitin Jamdar and Justice S Manu which placed the matter on the administrative side of the High Court for constituting a special bench.
KeLSA in its plea has said that ragging was "a deeply entrenched social menace that continues to plague educational institutions, causing severe psychological, emotional, and even physical harm to students".
