New Delhi, March 4- The Delhi High Court on Tuesday stayed the suspension of several students of Jamia Millia Islamia for protesting on the campus without permission.
The High Court also ordered the formation of a committee of university officials under the supervision of the Vice Chancellor to resolve the issue and said that they should also include student representatives in the discussion. Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma asked the university to file a report in the matter. The court was hearing a petition by four Jamia students challenging the university proctor's orders suspending them and barring them from entering the campus. The students' lawyer appeared in the court and claimed that they were protesting peacefully.
Advocates Amit Sahni and Kisle Mishra, representing Jamia, argued that the students had not sought any permission from the university administration to protest and had also damaged property. The advocate said that the students were sleeping outside the canteen, which was not permitted. It is worth noting that in February, some students who were protesting on the university campus were allegedly detained by the Delhi Police. The protesters claimed that some students remained missing for hours, which led to further protests. However, all the students were released after about 12 hours.
