Supreme Court order AG to look into possibility of putting off leadership course

 [May 20 2011]

The Supreme Court today informed the Attorney General to look into the possibility of putting off the leadership training program for new undergraduate students. The seven-day program targeted at new students receiving university entrance is scheduled to commence on June 23.

Supreme Court Judge Bench headed by Justice K. Shripavan had informed of this to the AG when the petition, filed by the Students’ Movement for Human Rights, challenging the training program was taken up today.

This arbitrarily implemented course is prejudiced against university students, the attorney representing the petitioner expressed to court. Therefore he requested that the Supreme Court issue interim order suspending the said course.

The government attorney representing the Attorney General strongly objected to this emphasizing that all necessary preparations have been made to commence the program. The petition will be taken up for hearing again on Tuesday (24).
