Kerala High Court Halts Inauguration Of Unauthorised Statue Constructed Inside Government Law College Trivandrum
The Kerala High Court on Friday (January 16) passed an interim order restricting the inauguration of an unauthorised statute constructed inside the government law college, Thiruvananthapuram.
Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas directed the District Collector, Thiruvananthapuram, the college principal and the Station House Officer of Museum Police station to ensure that no inauguration, or other ceremonial function is conducted in relation to any unauthorised construction or statute erected inside the college.
The Court, thus, intervened the inauguration, which was scheduled to happen today. It directed the District Collector, either through himself or through his subordinates, apart from the SHO, to ensure that the order is complied with.
The bench also issued notice to the party respondents in the case, who were students of the college.
The case is posted next on February 6.
The petition is moved by Advocates Nidhin Raj Vettikkadan, Anjala Nazrin Subair, Anjo Francis and Meera Nair I.P.
Case No: WP(C) No. 1830 of 2026
