JNU students' union plea in HC against admin stopping members to attend meet

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against the varsity administration for not notifying the students' body. The matter is likely to come up for hearing on Friday.

The JNUSU has taken the Vice-Chancellor, Dean of Students and the varsity administration to the court for illegally stopping the elected union members from attending meetings and participating in decision making bodies, a statement from the students' body said. "JNUSU gave JNU VC ample time to undo his mistake of harassing JNUSU and students through lies. In the face of JNU administration's politically motivated ploy to deny the democratic rights of a popularly elected JNUSU from participation in the decision making process, JNUSU has been forced to take the legal course," the statement said.
