2. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India perhaps given a more
comprehensive meaning of ragging as under :-
“ Ragging is any disorderly conduct whether by words spoken or written or by
an act which has the effect of teasing , treating or handling with rudeness to
any student , indulging in rowdy or undisciplined activities which cause or
likely to cause annoyance, hardship or psychological harm or to raise fear or
apprehension thereof in a fresher or a junior student and which has the effect
of causing or generating a sense of shame or embarrassment so as to
adversely effect the psyche of a fresher or a junior student.”
or
Ragging is a systematic human rights abuse practiced by the seniors so as to
exert their dominance over the juniors.
or

college or school with juniors , newcomers or first years.
