New Delhi: A former
student of Jamia Milia Islamia Monday withdrew from the Delhi High
Court a petition seeking quashing of a 2006 decision of the
central university to ban elections to the students union.
Ikrar Khan withdrew the petition as the court declined to hear it.
"The petition is dismissed as withdrawn," the court said.
Khan Dec 20, 2011 moved the court alleging that it was
unreasonable on the part of the university to ban the elections
since March 2006.
The petition submitted that the authorities 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, the poll had not been
held since March 31, 2006 despite several representations and
requests by students," the petition said.
"Jamia has 13,810 students and the university has been charging
Rs.50 per student as union fee," said the petition.
The university March 2006 dissolved the students' union without
giving any reason, the petition said.
"Then union president Shams Parvez was beaten up mercilessly when
he was peacefully asking (what were) the reasons to dissolve the
duly elected students' union," alleged the petitioner.
