Overview
- Disposing of a long-pending plea, the Punjab and Haryana High Court reminded students to keep their focus on academics and said it expects senate elections to be held as expeditiously as possible.
- The Additional Solicitor General, appearing for the Chancellor, told the bench that the process to hold the senate elections will commence as quickly as possible.
- Court records note that the Centre’s October 28 restructuring was withdrawn on November 4, with related notifications rescinded on November 7, returning the governance framework to the earlier status.
- Protests continue on campus with groups demanding a formal election schedule, including a November 10 demonstration that Hindustan Times reported drew nearly 5,000 people.
- The vice-chancellor has said an election schedule was sent to the Chancellor for approval but no approval has been made public, and statutory timelines mean graduate voting would take roughly 240 days from notification.
