Delhi High Court warned it could stay vote counting and defer result declaration in the Delhi University Students Union elections if authorities do not respond satisfactorily to campaign violence and vandalism.
The court directed Delhi University and Delhi Police to submit status reports by Friday and said it would not accept excuses.
Advocate Prashant Manchanda alleged violence, vandalism, the entry of outsiders, unregistered vehicles, guns, and assaults on teachers during campaigning.
Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma said FIRs had been registered, the campaign period had ended, and the current election process was largely peaceful or improved compared with last year.
A quick read on shared facts, changing details, and different emphasis.
All reports agree that the Delhi High Court pressed Delhi University and Delhi Police over violence during the DUSU campaign and linked any vote counting to the authorities’ response. They also agree that Prashant Manchanda raised allegations of serious disruption, while Chetan Sharma said FIRs were already registered.
What remains unsettled is whether the court will actually withhold vote counting, which depends on the reports and the next hearing. The allegations and the defense of the administration are both recorded, but the full factual picture of the campaign incidents is still being contested.
