PM Modi degree case: Gujarat University wants HC division bench to hear matter

The Gujarat University on Thursday insisted that a division bench of the high court should hear the matter pertaining to Central Information Commission order asking it to provide information on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s degree. Arguing before a division bench of Chief Justice R Subhash Reddy and Justice V M Pancholi, Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta requested that the bench — which had passed an order providing ad-interim relief to the university on July one — should hear the matter. He said the division bench has already granted ad-interim relief to the petitioner, and the matter should now continue to be heard by the court of Justice Vora so that in the event of the order going in favour of the Gujarat University, they would have the option of appealing before the division bench. Earlier, the varsity’s petition for interim stay was not accepted by the court of Justice Vora, after which the university approached the division bench of the high court which granted the stay.
