The Supreme Court has come down heavily on ragging, telling institutions that
any failure or negligence in lodging FIRs will be construed as negligence on
the part of the institutions.
The court has ordered all institutions to implement several of the
recommendations made by a government-appointed committee, the Raghavan
Committee.
The court said that ragging must be deterred by exemplary and harsh punishment.
In every instance where a victim or his guardian is not satisfied with the
action taken against ragging, an FIR must be filed by the institution.
The move comes after a committee appointed by the Supreme Court and headed by
former CBI Director R K Raghavan recommended a comprehensive law to check
ragging, asking for educational institutions to be made accountable.
The Raghavan committee report had found out that the conviction rate in ragging
cases booked under the Indian Penal Code was very low and recommended changes
in the IPC.
The committee suggested an induction programme for the freshers with the help
of senior students under faculty guidance and faculty training to check
incident of ragging.
The committee recommended stern penalties including expelling students accused
of ragging and asked for counselling for victims.
