Fri Mar 21 06:12:49 UTC 2025: ## Telangana High Court Challenges Osmania University’s Protest Ban
**Hyderabad, March 21, 2025** – The Telangana High Court is reviewing a controversial circular issued by Osmania University banning protests on campus. Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy issued notices to the university following a writ petition filed by student Pinjari Rafi, challenging the March 13th circular.
The university’s standing counsel argued that the ban only applies to protests within specific campus areas, not open spaces. However, the court has directed the Registrar to file a counter-affidavit by April 9th. The case has been adjourned until that date. The hearing follows a visible police presence at the College of Arts on March 17th.
