AHMEDABAD: It was revealed during a hearing in Gujarat
HC
on Monday that the fact-finding committee looking into allegations of
rape
and
harassment
at
Gujarat National Law University
(GNLU) did not find direct
evidence
against anyone at the university.
When amicus curiae Krina Calla suggested that an FIR be filed on the basis of the fact-finding panel’s report, a bench comprising Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal and Justice Aniruddha Mayee opined that the university cannot file FIR unless it gets a concrete report on the incident, & that the committee’s report had no concrete evidence of anything.
Suo motu proceeding is on the basis of news reports of students’ posts on Instagram about allegations of rape and harassment of a queer student in GNLU. The panel highlighted many incidents. But no victim came forward to complain.
