Supreme Court of India has directed educational institutions to adopt a "zero tolerance" policy to ragging and expel students found guilty of maltreating freshers.

Laying down expulsion of offenders in ragging cases as the minimum punishment, the court said this was needed to end the menace that could lead to extreme torture and harassment and even loss of life.

The court took a stern view, ruling out lighter punishment like suspension, after many incidents came to light despite the SC order in May this year which banned ragging in colleges and universities on the basis of the Raghavan Committee recommendations.
Colleges have now been asked to put it on their prospectus that students found guilty of ragging would be expelled immediately.

The SC, in May, had warned students that if they harassed freshers physically or mentally, they would be liable to be booked by police, expelled from college and denied admission in future. But with ragging offences still regularly reported, the court felt it was time to get tougher. Indirectly you can say that Supreme Court of India has banned the ragging system in all educational institutions in India by passing such directions.

The Supreme Court in a judgment last year (Arijit Pasayat) has directed the police to file FIR in any ragging complaint. The victim or his parents ought to complain. If the college authorities do not cooperate, they should be made co Accused. If the police do not take the FIR, a direct Complaint should be made to the competent judicial magistrate. Even otherwise, a direct Complaint can be made in the court against all the raggers. It is because victims do not complain that raggers get away scot free, and emboldened to commit even worse offences the next time.

Ragging System?

The Supreme Court doesn't ban anything. They interpret laws, uphold the constituition over other laws, and decide jurisdictive domain.

That's the Senate and Houses job!

And most of the behavior is illegal and school administrators break the law ANYTIME they do not report it to police.

Supreme Court should concentrate in the pending cases, unfilled vacancies of judges, judgements in favour of currupt politicians and businessmen etc., todays hot issues and priorities. Judiciary has no right and it should not interfere in college administration and state administration like ragging and Ramsethu etc. If they have solved all their cases, then they can involve themselves in implementing the enquiry commission reports submitted by various ex judges for action.

Yes, absolutely. Supreme court has already banned it.

It is very horrible for girls in the era of mobile phones with cameras.

Only banning will not be sufficient. Most severe punishments are to be awarded to culprits & their names MUST be widely publicised in media with their acts in detail with entire family background.
