The
Delhi High Court on Thursday granted more time to the Delhi University to draw
up a plan for conducting examinations for final year students, expressing
displeasure on its changing stance. The court said that the varsity is turning
turtle too often. A division bench of the High Court presided by Justices Hima
Kohli and Subramonium Prasad directed the varsity to file an affidavit by July
13 narrating how it is going to conduct the final year examinations (whether
online, offline or mixed modes) and a proper and final date sheet in order to
give a clarity to the students. "Chart out a course and be clear on where you
want to go," said the court while asking the varsity to file an affidavit
posting the matter for further hearing on July 14. The time was granted after
senior advocate Sachin Dutta appearing for the varsity informed the court that
a new plan has to be formulated in accordance with the latest UGC guidelines.
The court expressed its displeasure over the University's move to constantly
change its stance regarding the conduct of the final year examinations. "Delhi
University is turning turtle too often," the High Court said. (IANS)
