New Delhi: The Jamia
Millia Islamia Tuesday informed the Delhi High Court that an
experimental attempt could be made for holding elections to the
students' union which was banned six years ago.
Jamia filed an affidavit before the court on a plea seeking
quashing of the 2006 decision of the central university to ban
elections to the students' union.
"The committee was mindful of the fact that, despite the
prevailing situation in the campus, considering that the Jamia
Students' Union was dissolved six years ago, a renewed attempt
should be made to provide a representative body to the students by
way of an experiment," said the university through an affidavit
filed before a division bench of Justice S.K. Kaul and Justice
Vipin Sanghi.
The university also submitted that its executive council had
accepted the recommendations of a six-member committee of
academicians, constituted by the Vice-Chancellor (VC) pursuant to
court's earlier order to look into the aspect.
The affidavit said that the committee also drafted rules and
regulations for the students' union election.
"The committee drafted rules and regulations for putting in place
a mechanism to elect the Jamia Students' Union and also set out a
model code of conduct to implement the proposed structure," said
the affidavit.
The court asked advocate Sitab Ali Chaudhary, appearing for
petitioner Hamidur Rehman, a final year undergraduate student, to
file the reply on Jamia's affidavit by Nov 5.
The court was hearing a plea seeking a direction to university to
hold election to students' union, alleging that it was
unreasonable on the part of the university to ban the union in
March 2006.
"Union elections are no more being held, there is nobody in the
campus to address the students' grievances and problems and that
is why they are being harassed and tortured frequently," Rahman
said in his petition.
He said that the polls had not been held since March 31, 2006
despite several representations and requests by students.
The university March 2006 dissolved the students' union without
giving any reason, the petition said.
The petitioner alleged that despite the central government and the
University Grants Commission asking Jamia to conduct the student
union elections, no action had been taken.

Believed to be built by Bibi Akbarabadi, one of the wives of then Mughal Emperor
Shah Jahan, the mosque is considered the twin of Fatehpuri Masjid
in Chandni Chowk. It is associated with the freedom movement of
1857 during which it was destroyed by the British.
Construction work was in progress after the discovery and
thousands of Muslim had offered Friday prayers on July 20,
2012. The Delhi High Court however handed over it to
archaeologists very next day. |
