NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Monday directed Delhi University and its affiliated colleges to implement the Lyngdoh Committee recommendations approved by the Supreme Court on the model code of conduct for the Delhi University Students’ Union elections due early next month.
Justice Ravindra Bhat passed the direction on a petition by Vikas Dahiya, a prospective presidential candidate of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, in the elections whose nomination papers were rejected citing a code that bars candidates from contesting if he or she had not cleared his or her papers in the preceding year.
The Court asked the University to carry out a fresh scrutiny of nomination papers of the candidates in accordance with the recommendations.
The Court also made it clear that in case of any discrepancy between the University’s model code of conduct and the recommendations, the recommendations would prevail.
