The staff association of St Stephen's College has appealed to the governing body to grant admission to students whose applications were rejected even though they were allocated seats by Delhi University. The appeal was made during a staff association meeting on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court permitted seven students, who had been allocated seats by Delhi University, to attend classes at St Stephen's College. However, the college had initially opposed their admission, citing the university's Common Seat Allocation System.

Despite the court's decision, uncertainty remains for the other students, including three orphans, who have not approached the court for relief. The staff association believes it is humane and ethical to admit all students allocated seats by the university.
