Lal Bahadur Shastri Engineering College students to move Kerala High Court

KASARGOD: The students of Lal Bahadur Shastri   Engineering College in Kasargod have decided to challenge the Kerala High Court order  banning  campus politics.   

The order was issued in 2013 following a petition filed by three parents  with the support of  Principal Dr K.A. Nawas  citing frequent political clashes between student unions.

The  principal had banned elections  during 2011.   The students alleged that  he  had forced the parents to file the petition.

“LBS has a rich political background and the SFI had  a strong hold on the institution for years”, said Labeeb Mohammed, third- year BTech student   and  an activist.  The  SFI district committee has decided to file a review petition to  stay  the HC verdict, he added.

The LBS was set up in 1993 under the LBS Centre for Science and Technology, Thiruvanthapuram. The college under the state government has in the last one decade witnessed many political clashes between the students on various issues.
