Delhi High Court Orders DU to Preserve DUSU EVMs, Issues Notice on NSUI Tampering Plea

The petitioners seek to nullify the presidential poll and hold a fresh vote under court supervision over claimed ink markings beside the ABVP candidate’s name.

Overview

  • Justice Mini Pushkarna directed the DU chief election officer to secure the EVMs, paper trails, and related documents under lock and key.
  • The court issued notice to Delhi University and scheduled the matter for a hearing on December 16.
  • NSUI’s Ronak Khatri and Joslyn Nandita Chaudhary allege blue-ink markings appeared next to ABVP candidate Aryan Maan’s name on EVM displays to influence voters.
  • Irregularities were alleged at Hansraj College, Kirori Mal College, and the Faculty of Law, with petitioners claiming officials failed to act on complaints.
  • DU counsel Mohinder Rupal disputed any tampering, saying the mark was merely a thumb impression, as reports note Maan was declared winner of the president post.
