The Government Law College (GLC) in Churchgate, one of the oldest and most reputable institutes in Asia, issued a notice on Monday, instructing the administrator of an in-house Instagram profile to pull down the page with immediate effect.

"It has come to the notice of the college administration that there is a 'GLC Mumbai Confession Page'. The admin of this group is hereby instructed to remove the page from Instagram with immediate effect," reads the notice, issued by college principal Suvarna Keole, adding that failure to do so will meet with strict action as per law.

"All students of the college are hereby warned against using the name GLC on any social media platform like Facebook or Instagram without the prior approval of college authorities, failing which strict disciplinary action will be initiated," it added.

The notice has been put up on the college notice board and was also released on the internal mobile app. "Students may have had issues for which they took recourse to social media. When I was a student, if there were any issues, we would try to engage with the administration to resolve them," a college alumnus said.

The GLC, established in 1855, is the oldest law college in Asia, even older than the Mumbai University. It enjoys a preeminent reputation for excellence in the field of legal education. It counts among its alumni eminent legal luminaries such as Dr BR Ambedkar, Lokmanya Tilak, Justice MC Chagla, Sir Motilal Setalvad (the first attorney general of India), Sir Dinshaw Mulla, Justice YV Chandrachud, Nani Palkhivala and several others who have adorned benches of the Supreme Court and the Bombay High Court.

THEY SAID IT

The college put up a letter on its notice board saying, “All students are hereby warned against using the name GLC on social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram, without the prior approval of college authorities, failing which strict action will be initiated against those guilty.
