Delhi HC Receives Plea Challenging Delhi University's Ban on Campus Protests

A law student from Campus Law Centre filed a public interest litigation in the Delhi High Court challenging Delhi University's month-long ban on public meetings, processions, demonstrations, and protests on campus. The ban, issued on February 17 without consultation, aims to prevent traffic obstruction and ensure safety following recent student scuffles. The petition argues the ban is arbitrary, vague, and infringes on fundamental rights of free speech, peaceful assembly, and movement. The court has scheduled further hearings in March.
