The Supreme Court, in a public interest litigation concerning ragging in educational institutions, emphasized the need for comprehensive guidelines to address the issue, invoking Article 32 and Article 142 of the Constitution. The Court recognized that while some states have enacted laws making ragging a cognizable offense, mere criminalization is insufficient; it stressed the importance of institutional discipline and the role of teachers in managing student behavior. The Court defined ragging and outlined measures to curb it, advocating for awareness and a disciplined environment rather than police intervention.
