ORDER : C.KUMARAPPAN, J. The instant writ petition has been filed challenging the impugned order dated 24.03.2025, passed by the Director of Students Affairs/5th respondent, which expelled the petitioner's son from the respondent-University without affording him an opportunity to be heard. 2. The petitioner states that his son, Mr.Sam Tynale P.S., a Second Year B.Tech student in Biotechnology at Karunya Institute of Science and Technology, was issued a suspension notice (expulsion) without a specified duration due to a dispute that arose between the Student Resident Advisor and the petitioner's son. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner's son was not given an opportunity to explain his grievances and plights. Therefore, it would be fair to conduct a fresh inquiry, addresses the grievances of the petitioner and also permit the petitioner's son to attend classes. Therefore, the petitioner filed this present writ petition. 4. The learned counsel for respondents would fairly submit that the order of expulsion in No.KITS/DIR-SA/LET/2911/2025, dated 24.03.2025, was issued on the basis of preliminary enquiry, without adhering to the principles of natural justice and without conducting a proper domestic inquiry. 5. In such view of the matter, this Court deems it appropriate to quash the impugned order in No.KITS/DIR-SA/LET/2911/2025, dated 24.03.2025. Accordingly, the present writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: (i) The matter is remitted back to the respondents for initiating a fresh inquiry in accordance with law. (ii) The petitioner is directed to cooperate for the inquiry proceedings to facilitate a timely and fair investigation. (iii) The respondents are directed to complete the inquiry within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. (iv) In the meanwhile, the respondents are directed to permit the petitioner to attend classes, ensuring that his academic interests are protected. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions, if any, are closed. No costs.
