Lock up troublemakers, not girls: Kerala HC on Night Curfew for girls at GMC Kozhikode
Court observed that "troublemakers should be locked up, not girls. How long will the students be locked up? How can we say that only girls need control? Why is 9.30 pm a fixed time for girls in the hostel? Will the mountain collapse after 9.30? The city should be open and should be secured.";
Kerala High Court
Kochi: The Kerala High Court criticised the State Government for imposing a time limit on girl students staying at the hostel of Government Medical College in Kozhikode that boys don't have?
The Single Bench of Justice Devan Ramachandran asked this while considering a plea moved by certain girl students of Government Medical College Kozhikode against the impugned notification issued by the Higher Education Department barring female students from going out of the Hostel after 9.30 PM.
Court further observed that "troublemakers should be locked up, not girls. How long will the students be locked up? How can we say that only girls need control? Why is 9.30 pm a fixed time for girls in the hostel? Will the mountain collapse after 9.30? The city should be open and should be secured."
