Delhi High Court Halts DUSU Votes Over Campus Defacement

The Delhi High Court has halted the counting of votes for the DUSU elections until all forms of defacement, including posters, hoardings, graffiti, and spray paints, are removed and public property is restored. This decision was made by a bench comprising Chief Justice-designate Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela.

The Delhi High Court took a significant step on Thursday by halting the counting of votes for the DUSU elections scheduled for Friday. The court's decision mandates the removal of all forms of defacement such as posters, hoardings, graffiti, and spray paints, and the restoration of public property.

A bench comprising Chief Justice-designate Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela decreed that the election process may continue, but the counting of votes will only commence once the court is satisfied with the clean-up efforts.

“This court directs that the elections process may proceed yet no counting of votes shall take place either on Delhi University elections or on college elections till this court is satisfied that posters, hoardings, graffiti, spray paints are removed, and public property is restored,” stated the bench.
