Kerala HC bans student strikes in schools, colleges

Kerala High Court on Wednesday imposed a ban on strikes in schools and colleges that impact the functioning of the campuses.

Kerala High Court on Wednesday imposed a ban on strikes in schools and colleges that impact the functioning of the campuses. ''The functioning of campuses should not be hampered by the strikes. The colleges are for study, not for strikes. There should not be any march or gherao on campuses. Do not incite anyone for a strike," a bench of Justice PB Suresh Kumar said in its order.

"The order applies to schools and colleges. Do not harm the rights of others. The college can be a venue for peaceful discussions or thoughts. If actions are contrary to the orders of the court, the authorities can take action. They can call the police and restore peace," the order reads. The Kerala High Court issued the order while hearing a petition filed by 20 educational institutions against campus politics. (ANI)
