The Bombay High Court has refused to grant relief to a Dalit PhD student suspended by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) over allegations of participating in anti-national activities, according to PTI. A division bench of Justices A S Chandurkar and M M Sathaye on Wednesday dismissed the plea filed by the student, Ramadas K S, challenging his two-year suspension imposed by TISS in April 2024.

"The order suspending the petitioner (Ramadas) does not suffer from any illegality or perversity. We find that this is not a fit case to interfere. There is no merit in the petition and the same is dismissed," the court stated, as per PTI.
