The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has requested the Director of Legal Studies, Chennai, to issue a circular mandating installation of the portrait of Babasaheb Ambedkar in all government law colleges in Tamil Nadu.
Justice G.R. Swaminathan observed, “Dr. Ambedkar is the architect of the Indian Constitution. He is the very symbol of social liberation. His scholarship is unparalleled. He can be the greatest inspiration for every law student.”
The court made the observation while hearing a petition filed by a fourth-year student of Theni Government Law College. The student, who belonged to a Scheduled Caste, had challenged his suspension from the college.
