HC directs college to readmit married girl student - Pune Mirror

HC directs college to readmit married girl student  The Madras High Court Bench here has ruled that a college cannot expel a girl just because she married without the consent of her father. Passing the order, Justice N Kirubakaran directed the Dr Sivanthiadithanar college of Engineering at Tiruchendur to allow petitioner C Saraswathi (19), a first year B Tech (IT) student to continue her education. The judge said the petitioner was a major and had the right to choose her life partner. The action of the college was not acceptable, he said and directed the college to admit her and not harass her with regard to her marriage. The petitioner said she was prevented from attending the second semester classes based on a complaint from her father. Besides he was not able to maintain the family and her aunt had taken care of her. On her aunt's request, she married her son, a solider in the Army, on April 10, 2013. Saraswathi contended that it is against this background and the complaint from her father that the college refused to receive the exam fee for the second semester and did not allow her to attend classes. They had obtained her signature by force and issued her transfer certificate.   India's chandrayaan-2 mission stuck in limbo  India's ambitious Chandrayaan-2 mission appears headed for a prolonged delay following uncertainty over availability of lander from Russia even as the 'desi' rocket to launch the space odyssey would take time to become operational. Both Indian and Russian sides in the project seem to be beset with their own space technology-related issues, pushing the joint moon exploration mission, already hit by time overruns, to the back-burner. "In Chandrayaan-2, a soft lander will place a rover on the moon's surface which will collect physical samples, analyse and send results to earth. This is the logical extension of Chandrayaan-1 to confirm the findings of remote sensing through physical tests," said an Indian Space Research Organisation official. Declining to discuss the timeframe for the mission, ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan, who is also Secretary in the Department of Space, said, "We will not be able to say that (time-line) because the uncertainty remains on the lander availability." ISRO and Russia's Federal Space Agency (Roskosmos) signed an agreement on joint lunar research and exploration in November 2007, with the cooperation envisaging Chandrayaan-2, involving a lunar orbiting spacecraft and a lander/rover on the Moon's surface.   India undertook the maiden mission to Moon in 2008 and Chandrayaan-2 was positioned as the next logical step for more detailed and in situ study of the Moon. via Science - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNHs9UjTkUd8l05By8BsI1jCPgwDSQ&url=http://www.punemirror.in/article/4/2013080220130802101053262f7cc7b03/HC-directs-college-to-readmit-married-girl-student-.html
