Delhi HC allows rusticated JNU students to appear for exams
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday came to the rescue of nine Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students, who were rusticated by the university for a second time on May 5, allowing them to appear for their exams and directing JNU to not take any coercive action against them till May 28, the next date of hearing.
The nine students from the BA and MA programmes of JNU are seeking that the order rusticating them be set aside. The university had rusticated them for two semesters and declared the campus out of bounds for them.
Justice Vikas Mahajan granted the relief while taking into consideration the students’ submission that there has been a violation of principles of natural justice and that their exams are commencing from Wednesday or in few days.
