State-run law universities cannot impose blanket bans on student protests within campus, as such restrictions violate Article 19(1)(a) and (b) rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
Aaj ki debate ka motion hai: 'State Law Colleges Must Permit Student Protests Within Campus Premises' — yeh sawaal seedha uthata hai ki ek law student ka democratic expression ka adhikar aur campus ki institutional discipline, dono mein kaise santulan ho. Is important motion par apne arguments rakhne ke liye main Counsel Aarav ko aamantrit karti hoon.
My Lord, main yeh nivedan karta hoon ki Article 19(1)(a) aur 19(1)(b) ke tahat har nagarik ko — aur khaaskar law students ko — speech, expression aur peaceful assembly ka maulik adhikar prapt hai, aur State Law Colleges is adhikar ko campus ke andar completely rokne ka adhikar nahi rakhte. Yeh adhikar sirf 'reasonable restrictions' ke daayre mein seedha limited ho sakta hai — blanket prohibition kabhi 'reasonable' nahi ho sakti, kyunki law students ka dissent aur debate karna to unki padhai ka hi hissa hai. Isliye main maanta hoon ki State Law Colleges ko campus ke andar student protests permit karne chahiye — yeh koi anugrah nahi, balki ek constitutional dayitva hai.
