Photo: ANINew Delhi: The Delhi High Court will hear on Wednesday former JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar’s plea challenging a fine imposed on him by a high-level JNU panel in connection with a 2016 incident in which anti-national slogans were raised on the campus. Kumar, a member of the Communist Party of India’s student wing, was President of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union that year. The Delhi Police arrested Kumar on the campus a few days after and slapped sedition charges as Khalid and Bhattacharya along with three other students went into hiding. The plea will be heard by Justice Siddharth Mridul. Kumar’s plea, filed through advocate Tarannum Cheema and Harsh Bora, has sought quashing of the notification issued by the high-level probe panel set up by the Jawaharlal Nehru University..
