The Gujarat High Court, presided over by Justice Nirzar Desai, has advised the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (IIT-Gn) and a student challenging her suspension to reach a consensus. The student, enrolled in a Master's program, is appealing a suspension for alleged past indiscipline, which she argues has already been addressed by the institution. During the hearing, the court expressed sympathy for the student, emphasizing that young individuals may not fully grasp the consequences of their actions. The court suggested that the institution should consider the student's apology, which was drafted by her counsel, to facilitate her defense of her thesis scheduled for May 5. The court will reconvene on the matter Friday, aiming to resolve the issue amicably without imposing orders that may favor one side excessively.
