HC allowed voting, puts stay on counting

A day before the DUSU election 2024, the Delhi High Court permitted the university to proceed with the election but halted the vote counting, which was originally scheduled for Saturday, until all the defacement material was removed and public property was restored.

“This court directs that the elections process may proceed yet no counting of votes shall take place either on Delhi University (Students' Union) elections or on college elections till this court is satisfied that posters, hoardings, graffiti, spray paints are removed and public property is restored,” the bench of Chief Justice-designate Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela said.

The court directed the varsity to file a fresh status report and ensure that EVMs and ballot boxes to be used in elections are kept safe until further orders. It also directed the university to pay expenses incurred by the civic authorities in removing the defacement and added that the varsity might recover the amount from the candidates thereafter.
