In compliance with the orders of the Honourable Supreme Court of India, APU condemns all forms of ragging and is committed to taking action on the same.
“RAGGING” has been made a cognisable offence, and it attracts a punishment of rigorous imprisonment of up to three years and a fine of Rs 25,000/- or above. RAGGING has been defined as :
“Any act causing, inducing, compelling or forcing a student, whether by way of a practical joke or otherwise, to do an act which detracts from human dignity or violates his person or exposes him to ridicule or to forbear from doing any unlawful act, by intimidating, wrongfully restraining, wrongfully confining, or injuring him or by using criminal force against him or by holding out to him any threat of such intimidation, wrongful restraint, wrongful confinement, injury or the use of criminal force.”
“Any act of physical or mental abuse (including bullying and exclusion) targeted at another student (fresher or otherwise) on the grounds of colour, race, religion, caste, ethnicity, place of birth, place of residence or economic background.”
