DUSU Election Result 2024: The High Court of Delhi has directed Delhi University to start the process of counting the votes for the recent DUSU elections on or before November 26. The bench led by the Chief Justice stipulated that this can only proceed once the University is satisfied that the public and private properties, which were defaced during the election campaign, are cleaned and repainted within a week.
Additionally, the court instructed both Delhi University and the students involved to file a report with the High Court registry within 10 days, confirming that the properties have been restored as per the court’s directions. This decision came after hearing a petition filed by Prashant Manchanda, who raised concerns about the defacement of properties during the election period.
What is causing the DUSU Election results delay?
The process of announcing the DUSU Election results 2024 is getting delayed due to the defacement of public property by DUSU candidates. Initially, the results were scheduled to be announced on September 28 but the high court stayed the counting, citing the need to restore defaced property. The purpose of the stay was to send a message that such violations would not be tolerated, rather than to obstruct the election process.
The Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections were held on September 27, wherein, 1.45 lakh students participated.
