Delhi High Court Criticizes JNU For Taking Coercive Action By Rusticating Students In Derogation Of Its Rules, Principles Of Fair Play

Live Law  

While dealing with a PhD scholar's plea against her rustication, the Delhi High Court has said that the Jawaharlal Nehru University is taking coercive action by rusticating students in complete derogation of its own Rules and in total disregard of principles of natural justice and fair play. Justice C Hari Shankar stayed an office order issued by the Office of Chief Proctor of the varsity on May 08 last year rusticating one Ankita Singh on the ground that she vandalized the Chairperson's office and misbehaved with students and faculty members. “This is not a first case which is coming up before this Court of JNU taking coercive and punitive action by rustication of students, in complete derogation of its own Statutes and the Rules governing proctorial inquiries to be conducted by JNU, and in total disregard of the principles of natural justice and fair play,” the court said. The court took note of an office order passed in August 2022 as per which several authorities recommended that Singh needs medical assistance on an urgent basis for which the competent authority must constitute a legal medical board to assess her well being and provide help if needed.
