Delhi University
The Delhi High Court has sought a response from Delhi University regarding a plea filed by two LLB aspirants, Sumit Kumar Singh and Anany Rathore, who claim they were unfairly denied admission despite meeting the cutoff criteria.
Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav issued a notice to the university and listed the matter for hearing on November 5.
The petitioners, who scored 176 in the Common University Entrance Test (CUET PG 2024), allege that Delhi University conducted four rounds of spot admissions but failed to fill declared vacancies.
They claim that Campus Law Centre declared 27 vacant seats in Spot Round-IV but admitted only 23 students, Law Centre-I had 51 vacant seats in Spot Rounds III and IV but admitted only 32 students, and Law Centre-II had 69 vacant seats in Spot Rounds I, II, and III but admitted only 40 students.
The petitioners have sought directions to fill the vacant seats in the LLB program and reserve two seats for them during the pendency of the petition.
Furthermore, they argue that Delhi University’s failure to fill declared vacancies is a breach of its duties and a violation of qualified candidates’ legitimate expectations.
The university allegedly ignored the petitioners’ pleas despite multiple approaches to the grievance redressal cell.
Court’s decision will determine the fate of the petitioners and potentially address broader issues in Delhi University’s admission process.
