SC allows JNU students’ union poll stayed since 2008
The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Jawaharlal Nehru University to hold its students’ union elections, which had been stayed by the apex court in 2008 for non-compliance of some of its guidelines. The bench increased the age limit to contest the students’ union polls from 28 to 30 years and also waived the mandatory 75 per cent attendance pre-requisite for them to contest the polls. The apex court, however, said Lyngdoh committee’s recommendations for not using more than 5,000 pamphlets will continue for the JNU students’ union elections. The Supreme Court had appointed the panel, headed by former Chief Election Commissioner J M Lyngdoh, to suggest ways and means to reform students’ union election across the country and rid them of the influence of money and muscle power.
