In a broad-ranging conversation with The Indian Express, former Supreme Court Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia says, “If the students in a university are dissenting, or standing in support and solidarity with something, against oppression, I think it speaks volumes about the awakening. That’s good. Agar aap isko daba doge toh fir university, university kahan rahegi(If you suppress it, a university will not remain a university).”

VIDEO | The Supreme Court passes order quashing all the FIRs against protesters during NEET protests.
Advocate Vrinda Grover informs, "The honourable Supreme Court of India has today passed a very significant order. As we know that from 20th to 25th July, there were very active protests in Delhi, at Jantar Mantar and in many parts of the country relating to reform in education. During the protests, police across states have launched cases, criminal cases against the protesters, against the youth. There is now an assurance that was given on 25th July by the Union government to the Cockroach Janta Party representatives that they will not pursue any of the criminal proceedings and they will give compensation. In so far as the innumerable FIRs launched across states, from Bihar to West Bengal, UP, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Delhi, of course. All those FIRs today, by the order of the honourable Supreme Court, and with the applications were moved by the states. So the states and the Union government have said that they will not pursue, they are to be quashed and the court has passed an order quashing the FIRs, all the FIRs. The Supreme Court has invoked its extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution of India because the court says the right to protest, the freedom to protest and express yourself is a fundamental right and that cannot be taken away. What is also significant is that with regards to the compensation they have agreed that it will be formulated and paid in the next three months..."

A careless & corrupt system only emboldens such crimes. Why are the recommendations of the Justice Verma Committee and the SCs directions particularly those prohibiting curtains and black films on vehicle windowpanes not being implemented effectively?

There should be a complete ban in the public interest, as it causes irreversible harm to the victims. All those responsible must be legally punished in an exemplary manner.

A democratic country needs democratic educational institutions. Democracy cannot be confined to the indelible ink on our fingers on election day; it must be nurtured, practised, and respected every day.

@Benarasiyaa The concerned authorities are not interested in addressing the problem because they have the option of treating themselves at five-star-hotel-like hospitals using taxpayers' money.

@barandbench Article 21 is one of the most significant rights under the Indian Constitution, stating that no person shall be deprived of their life or personal liberty except according to the procedure established by law. This right is also available to non-citizens.
Fantastic thoughts shared by Hon'ble Justice Ujjal Bhuyan. In a democracy, differences of opinion deserve respect. Any action initiated by the State machinery must be in accordance with the Rule of Law.

#BREAKING : Days after NLSIU Bengaluru called off its convocation amid protests by students over the choice of chief guest, #SupremeCourt judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, speaking at NLU Delhi on Sunday, says students cannot be threatened with punitive action for expressing a different point of view or asking questions.
Justice Bhuyan: “In a democracy, the right to question is not an act of defiance. It is an essential expression of citizenship, liberty and constitutional responsibility... When students express a different point of view, when students ask questions, they cannot be threatened. They cannot be threatened with punitive action. That is unconstitutional. That is misuse of power and office.”
“Our Constitution does not seek uniformity of thought.”
