Delhi High Court Sets Aside Suspension of Ramanujan College Principal Over Procedural Issues

The Delhi High Court set aside the suspension of Ramanujan College Principal Rasal Singh, ruling the suspension order stigmatic and the formation of a fact-finding committee prior to the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) inquiry as unlawful under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) Act. While the court acknowledged the seriousness of sexual harassment complaints, it emphasized that only the ICC is authorized to conduct such inquiries. The college may issue a new suspension following proper legal procedures.
