University can’t restrict peaceful expression of ideas that don’t align with management’s ideology: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court has revoked the suspension of a student of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University over alleged participation in a protest, observing that speech and peaceful expression of ideas cannot be restricted merely because they do not align with the ideology of the management.

Justice Jasmeet Singh emphasised that a university must create an atmosphere where students feel free to participate in discussions on academic or public issues, and peaceful protests and non-violent dissent are a natural part of such an environment.
