The plea challenging the election process has been filed by a student, Sakshi of the BA (Persian) course at the School of Language, Literature and Culture Studies.
She has argued that the elections are being conducted in violation of the Lyngdoh Committee recommendation.
The plea said that as per the Lyngdoh Committee recommendations, the students union elections should be held in six to eight weeks of the commencement of the academic session but here the elections are being held at the fag end of the session.
“The conduct of the Respondent in notifying the JNUSU Elections 2023-24 at the fag end of the Academic Session is nothing but an eyewash and mockery of democratic process, aimed at pacifying a certain group, and as such serves no purpose,” the plea argued.
