The Kerala High Court on Friday ordered police protection for a month for the smooth functioning of the Amal Jyothi College of Engineering, Kanjirappally.
Justice N.Nagaresh ordered that adequate police protection be given at the entry and exit of the college and also for conducting the admission process as well .
The court passed the interim order on a petition moved by the college. When the petition came up for hearing, counsel for the college submitted that a decision was taken to reopen the college on June 12 at a meeting in which the Cooperation and Education Ministers participated.
Though there was an agreement, the students organising the strike did not sign the agreement. Therefore, there was every likelihood of students continuing their protests and causing obstructions. Since the new admission process had started, the strike would affect the admission process, the petitioner said.
