The row over suspension of 16 SFI activists at Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit in Keralam | Explained

What's behind this

The Kerala High Court has set aside an order that permitted 16 students affiliated with the Students' Federation of India (SFI) to sit for their exams. The students were suspended on August 13 after staging a protest on the campus of Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, which the university described as including a mock funeral for Vice‑Chancellor Ciza Thomas during the first meeting of the reconstituted Syndicate. Their suspension sparked a legal battle over their right to appear in the upcoming examinations.
