High Court Orders Equal Treatment for Students Regarding Bus Concessions

The High Court has ruled that bus staff must treat students without discrimination when providing concessions, ensuring they receive the same treatment as other passengers. In an effort to prevent potential law and order issues, the court has instructed the police to maintain a peaceful environment. The court further noted that discriminatory actions by bus staff against students often lead to disturbances in law and order.

Regarding the revision of bus concession fares, the court emphasized that this is a matter of government policy. It suggested that matters such as reforms should be collaboratively addressed by both the government and student organizations. The High Court’s remarks were made in connection with a criminal case involving bus employees.
