Telangana HC refuses to order OU VC on Rahul Gandhi\'s meeting
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The Telangana High Court was reluctant to issue orders to the Osmania University Vice-Chancellor to give permission to Congress president Rahul Gandhi`s interactive meeting with students and employees at Tagore auditorium on the campus on May 7. The court gave liberty to the petitioners, members of the National Students Union of India to file a petition challenging the VC’s rejection orders. Justice Bollam Vijaysen Reddy was on Monday dealing with the house motion petition filed by Koturi Manavatha Roy, a PhD scholar from the Telugu department of the university, and three other NSUI members seeking permission for the Congress leader’s interaction with students. By 4 pm, government counsel Srikanth Reddy informed the court that the application had been rejected by the VC on the grounds that there was a resolution not to allow any programme that had political overtones.
