SC HALTS POLL IN JNU

SUPREME COURT HAS STAYED THE JNUSU ELECTION PROCEDURES. The Supreme Court on Friday ordered a conditional stay on elections to the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students’ union in keeping with its tough stand on universities failing to follow the Lyngdoh committee guidelines on students’ union polls. On Tuesday, the apex court had issued notice to JNU seeking guidelines governing the ensuing elections. Today, the Bench of Justices Arijit Pasayat and Mukundkam Sharma also issued contempt notices to the JNU vice-chancellor and the registrar for not ensuring that the election process is conducted in terms of the committee recommendations.
Elections for the JNU students’ union were scheduled for November 3.

JNUSU IS CONVENING A UGBM TODAY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
STUDENT UNITY LONG LIVE
