The Calcutta High Court today refrained from passing any orders in the Jadavpur University death case before hearing the views of the students of the university.
The court was hearing petitions seeking its intervention in the case of the death of a first-year student who fell from a hostel building on August 9 and died at a nearby hospital early morning the next day. The police have registered a case of murder and conspiracy and made 12 arrests so far, including current and former students living illegally on the campus.
Senior Advocate and Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee told the High Court that the university was quiet on the issue of ragging, believed to be the cause of the boy's death.
