New Delhi:
A former student of Jamia Millia Islamia Tuesday moved the Delhi
High Court seeking quashing of a 2006 decision of the central
university to ban elections to the students union.
Petitioner Ikrar Khan alleged that it was unreasonable on the part
of the university to ban the election from March 2006.
He said that the authorities had continued to collect a union fee of
Rs.50 per student despite there being no elections in the last few
years.
"It is in violation of the constitution," he said.
He said the poll had not been held since March 31, 2006 despite
several representations and requests by students.
Sitab Ali Chaudhary, counsel for the petitioner, said: "The vice
chancellor gave an assurance but neither the election was conducted
nor any positive sign has been shown."
Claiming that the university was charging the students' union fee
without any intention of holding the election, Khan said: "Jamia has
13,810 students and the university has been charging Rs.50 per
student as union fee."
The university March 2006 dissolved the students' union without
giving any reason, the petition said.
"Then union president Sams Parvez was beaten up mercilessly by then
proctor and his security men and other anti-social elements when he
was peacefully asking the reasons to dissolve the duly elected
students' union," alleged the petitioner.
