In his plea, Chugh has stated that at the time of the protests, he was not even present at the spot but was instead at a media interaction.
However, DU issued a show cause notice to him on February 16 holding that he was involved in disturbance of law and order in the University during the screening. Subsequently, on March 10, a memorandum was issued debarring him.
Chugh has contended that the University passed the order against him in violation of the principles of natural justice and that he was not even informed about the charges and findings against him by the disciplinary authority.
The plea has, therefore, demanded setting aside of the memorandum and quashing of the notice holding that Chugh was involved in disturbance of law and order. In the interim, he has sought a stay on the memorandum.
