Delhi HC yet to decide on fresh DUSU elections

Noida | Tuesday | 11th December, 2018

Summary:

He has demanded DU conduct fresh DUSU elections under an independent election officer or an appropriate authority “of impeccable character and integrity”. Singh has argued that since the post fell vacant after the three-month period as set by Lyngdoh committee guidelines, there can’t be any fresh elections and as per the norm he should be promoted to the president’s post. On November 14, DU expelled Baisoya for allegedly submitting fake documents from Thiruvalluvar University at Vellore in Tamil Nadu to secure admission in DU. NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Monday reserved its orders on a petition seeking to hold fresh elections to Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) president’s post, after Ankiv Baisoya stepped down from the post for allegedly submitting fake educational certificates to get admission in the university.The court will also consider a fresh plea filed by ABVP vice-president Shakti Singh, seeking directions to DU to appoint him to the president’s post. Chillar, in his plea, had also sought action against Baisoya for using forged certificate for securing admission in the varsity, an allegation that is being investigated by both DU and Delhi Police..
