New Delhi: The Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) welcomed Delhi High Court’s order that refused to vacate an interim order of stay on a state government notification to direct DU-affiliated colleges to pay salaries to teaching and non-teaching staff from Student Society Funds (SSF).
“DUSU welcomes the decision of the High Court of Delhi that refuses to vacate the stay on Delhi government order directing 12 colleges to pay salaries to staff from SSF (Students Society Fund). We will continue to struggle for the rights of the students,” DUSU president Akshit Dhaiya was quoted as saying by EdexLive.
Justice Jyoti Singh refused to stay a coordinate bench’s interim order and noted that the stand of these colleges is important, but they have not been made a party to the petition filed by DUSU. The court directed the petitioner’s counsel Jivesh Tiwari to move an application by the next date of hearing to make the colleges a party to the said petition, the website reported.
“Take appropriate steps to make the colleges as a party and if they fail to do so, I will vacate the interim order,” the court ordered while posting the matter for further hearing on November 5.
