With the court making the dean of the Salem college her “guardian” and asking it to provide her hostel facilities, Kannan said that would not be a problem. “She was staying in the college hostel initially before she chose to take a room outside with friends. After this order, we will make arrangements to accommodate her in the hostel.”
It was in March this year that Jahan and Hadiya had met last. Jahan said that Hadiya was not even produced in the high court on May 24 when the marriage was nullified. “The police didn’t allow me to go near her house in Kottayam. My letters to her house address sent back,” he added.
On his alleged IS links, Jahan said the NIA has been creating a smokescreen. “They have been raising the baseless allegation from the beginning. I have nothing to worry about their allegations,’’ said Jahan, who had been employed in the Gulf.
Principal Kannan, meanwhile, said that he was waiting for official communication on the court order. “Once we get it, Hadiya will have to give us a request to continue her studies as she has been on a long break. She hasn’t missed any classes as it was a period of internship. Once she gives us the request, we will send that for the university’s approval, with a fine amount, and she can resume her studies.”
Speaking to the media, soon after the Supreme Court order, Kannan recalled Hadiya as “the average student from Kerala”, and said she had not discontinued the course officially, though she went “on a long break”. The entire process of her rejoining classes would not take more than a fortnight, he added.
