New Delhi: The Delhi
High Court Thursday issued notice to the Delhi University, the
University Grants Commission and the central government on the
implementation of the semester system in the varsity's arts stream
for 2011-12.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Sanjeev
Khanna said: "Issue notice to all the respondents. The matter will
be heard on May 11."
"Today who is the sufferer. It is neither the university nor the
teachers, but the... students," said the judges.
A group of university teachers approached the Delhi High Court
challenging the university's April 19 notification for
implementation of the semester system in the arts stream for
2011-12. The teachers' union also demanded quashing of the
notification.
As of now, there are 13 courses, including physics, chemistry,
botany and zoology, which follow the semester system in the
university.
The petitioner pleaded before the court that Vice Chancellor
Dinesh Kumar's emergency power should be curtailed so that he may
not take any action against the teachers.
The petitioner said that before issuing the notification there
should be a transparent procedure in which teachers, students,
college dean and academicians sit together and sort out the
problem.
Another petition on the issue, filed by the Delhi University
Teachers Association (DUTA), is also pending before the court. The
DUTA approached the court against the earlier introduction of the
semester system for the science stream.
