Delhi High Court Cracks Down on DUSU Candidates for Public Property Defacement

The Delhi High Court has summoned several candidates from the September 2024 Delhi University Students' Union elections to explain alleged involvement in public property defacement. The court has halted vote counting until all defacement materials are removed. Action against the candidates is sought in the ongoing legal proceedings.

The Delhi High Court has issued notices to several candidates from the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections, held in September 2024, regarding allegations of public property defacement. The court has demanded their presence to explain their actions.

Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela have directed these candidates to appear before the court on October 28. The bench emphasized the seriousness of the situation, noting it stemmed from an administrative failure at the university.

The court halted the counting of votes from the DUSU elections until all defacement materials such as posters and graffiti are cleared. This step comes after a plea sought action against the candidates involved in vandalizing public property.
