The judgment was delivered by Justice Shiran Gooneratne, with Justices Priyantha Fernando and Sobhitha Rajakaruna agreeing, following a Fundamental Rights petition filed by a university student.

The petitioner had sustained serious injuries during a ragging incident at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in 2020, when a backhoe tyre was allegedly rolled over his body. As a result of this inhuman and violent treatment, the petitioner was hospitalised for nearly three months.
