The Supreme Court of India defined ragging in a judgement as:
“Any disorderly conduct whether by words spoken or written or by an act which the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness any other student, indulging in rowdy or indisciplined activities which causes or is likely to cause annoyance, hardship or psychological harm or to raise fear or apprehension thereof in a fresher or a junior student or asking the students to do any act or perform something which such student will not do in the ordinary course and which has the effect of causing or generating a sense of shame or embarrassment so as to adversely affect the physique or psyche of a fresher or a junior student.”
- Ragging is as severe a criminal act as rape
- FIR will be filed without any delay
- Such cases will be accorded priority trial
- Those found guilty may be fined up to Rs. 2,50,000/-
- Those found guilty may be expelled up to four semesters
- Those found guilty may be denied admission elsewhere
- Authorities are also accountable for any failure or delay
- Defaulter institutions are likely to lose grants
The University views ragging very seriously. Students found guilty will be subject to any/or all of the penalties listed above.
