AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat High Court on Monday took suo motu cognisance of a newspaper report about two incidents at the Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) in Gandhinagar involving the harassment of a male student for being queer and the rape of a student by her batchmate.
The division bench of Justices AS Supehia and MR Mengdey observed that the report "raises an issue of grave concern which has a direct impact on the psychological and physical wellbeing of students," and issued a notice to the university registrar and head of academic affairs.
