DUSU polls on, but counting only after campus gets cleaned, says Delhi HC
NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Thursday allowed the Delhi University Students Union elections to go ahead as planned on September 27, but ordered delay in vote count until all election-related posters and graffiti are removed from the campus. However, counting should only begin once the candidates have cleared the posters and graffiti, and compensated for any damage caused,” a bench, led by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, said. The HC noted that various public spaces, including bus stops, metro and police stations, were defaced, and that areas surrounding the university were littered with pamphlets. Manchanda argued for the cancellation of polls, saying, “Allowing elections would only encourage misconduct.” During a previous hearing, the HC expressed frustration.
