Thus, the order of the institute was in violation of principles of natural justice,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are also of the view that, registration of a crime cannot be taken as a gospel truth and held out to be a foundation to expel the petitioner,&#8221; it noted.<\/p>\n<p>The bench said the petitioner had not indulged in illegal activities in the campus of the institute.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No doubt, the offence registered against the petitioner is serious in nature, however, the fact remains that the institute expelled the petitioner merely on the ground that FIR is being registered against him by the complainant who is no way concerned with the institute,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In our view, if the impugned orders are not quashed, would certainly harm his career, which cannot be compensated in terms of money or otherwise. The petitioner cannot therefore be made to suffer the consequences merely on the basis of the allegations made against him and that too, before trial,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>The bench while quashing the order directed the institute to admit the petitioner to resume his studies and condone any deficiency in attendance from the time the order of expelling him was passed till date.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bombay High Court quashed an order passed by a college expelling a computer engineering student, observing that an FIR cannot be treated as &#8220;gospel truth&#8221; and cannot be a reason for expulsion.
