Delhi High Court Declines Urgent Hearing on PIL for DU Hostel Facilities

Delhi High Court Declines Urgent Hearing on PIL for DU Hostel FacilitiesPreviousNext

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday declined to urgently hear a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking directives for hostel facilities in all Delhi University-affiliated colleges. The bench, led by Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia, noted that a similar PIL had been filed and heard earlier. The court advised the petitioner to file the plea for automatic listing on Wednesday, stating interim directions could not be issued. The petition follows concerns raised after a fatal PG building collapse near Delhi University's South Campus.
