The Jawaharlal Nehru University administration on Tuesday approached the Delhi High Court seeking contempt action against its “students” and the Delhi Police for violating a court order against holding a protest within 100 metres of the varsity’s administrative block. The central government filed the petition on behalf of JNU, seeking direction to issue contempt notice against the students and Delhi Police and also demanded punishment in accordance with the Contempt of Courts Act for alleged wilful disobedience of the court order.
