HC directs DU to expedite results of students going abroad for higher studies Subscribe - https://ift.tt/2BvgxbE Facebook - https://ift.tt/3hRxoWV Twitter - https://twitter.com/EducationCaree6 Pinterest - https://ift.tt/2YpDlCG Tumblr - https://ift.tt/2NmT92U Blog - https://ift.tt/2NhbzC6 #Exam #Recruitment #Result #School #College #Study #NEP #New_Education_Policy #Admission NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court Tuesday directed the Delhi University to expeditiously declare results of final year undergraduate students who have obtained admission in foreign universities for higher studies. Besides expediting results, the varsity was also directed by the high court to create an e-mail ID on which students can send their requests along with the details of the foreign university where they have secured provisional admission so that a request letter can be addressed directly by the Delhi University (DU) to the concerned foreign varsity. DU shall also give an assurance to the foreign university that the result of concerned students will be communicated at the earliest, a bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Subramonium Prasad said. The division bench's order came after it was informed by the counsel for the DU that a single judge of the high court had on July 7, passed an order relating to results of students who were obtaining admission in post graduate courses in foreign universities. The single judge in its order had said, "In so far as undergraduate courses are concerned, where students may obtain admission to post graduate courses in foreign universities, students may write an e-mail to the Dean (Examinations) informing him of the said admissions, in which case, efforts would be made to expedite the results of such courses. The said e-mails may be sent by the earliest at dean_exam@du.ac.in." The division bench directed the varsity to adhere to the direction issued by Justice Prathiba M Singh in the July 7 order. The Tuesday's order was passed by the division bench in continuation of its Monday's order in which it was directed that the new e-mail ID shall be created by the DU within one week and information in this regard shall be publicised on the website of the varsity, duly copied to all the colleges. "The students will furnish the necessary details relating to their admission, their e-mail ID, the e-mail IDs of the concerned foreign university and the designation of the official to whom such a request letter is required to be served. In the affidavit to be filed by the Delhi University, it shall indicate the cut-off date by which the results will be declared for all streams of final year courses," it said. The bench noted that senior advocate Sachin Dutta and Mohinder Rupal, representing the DU, did not inform it on Monday about the July order passed by the single judge. The July order was brought to the bench's notice late Monday evening after which it again listed the matter on Tuesday. The university counsel conceded in the court that it was an error on their part in not pointing out the July 7 order and said the error was bonafide and they will adhere to the directions of the earlier order. The Monday's order was passed after advocate Amir Singh Pasrich, appearing for several students, submitted that the students who have secured admission in foreign universities find themselves in a bind in the absence of any provisional certificate issued by DU. He said DU shall issue a letter to the concerned foreign universities explaining the circumstances in which the examinations of the final year students have had to be postponed so that the concerned students can get a sufficient buffer period to furnish their provisional certificates to the universities. Advocate Manik Dogra, representing another student, said though the University Grants Commission (UGC) has extended the timeline for conducting the final year examinations to the end of September this year, it has not issued any advisory to the central universities for accommodating those students whose examinations are likely to be concluded by the end of September. As a result, their academic careers may be jeopardised as they are expected to furnish the provisional certificates to the concerned universities by the first week of September and that UGC shall take steps at the earliest to issue a fresh advisory in this regard to all the central universities, he said.

Sehwag in NADA's anti-doping appeals panel

Legendary opener Virender Sehwag and former Delhi player Vinay Lamba have been made members of the Anti-Doping Appeal Panel (ADAP) of the NADA in a rare instance of cricketers being roped in for such committees.

Sehwag and Lamba, who played 76 first-class matches for Delhi between 1967 and 1981, are in the six-member panel headed by retired judge R V Easwar.

The other members are senior advocate Vibha Datta Makhija, Dr. Naveen Dang and Harsh Mahajan. The panel had a two-hour long meeting today but Sehwag did not attend it, according to sources.

In a surprise move, the NADA also appointed dope-tainted former weightlifter Kunjarani Devi as one of the members of the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel (ADDP).

Kunjarani was suspended for six months for an anti-doping rule violation in 2001 when she tested positive for stimulant strychnine at the Asian Championships in South Korea.

She will now be among those who will decide whether an athlete is guilty of doping or not.

The ADDP has other former sportspersons in Akhil Kumar (boxing), Reeth Abraham (athletics), Jagbir Singh (hockey) and Rohit Rajpal (tennis). The panel will be headed by retired district and sessions judge Kuldeep Singh.

The other members of the ADDP are Manik Dogra (advocate), Nalin Kohli, Bina Gupta and Surbhi Mehta (all advocates), Vinod Dogra, Dr. Ankit Sharma, Dr. Chengappa and Col (Dr) Sanjeev Kumar.

As per norms, any doping case is first heard by the ADDP and then the matter is referred to ADAP.

Jaitley again sues Kejriwal for Rs 10 crore after Delhi CM's lawyer Jethmalani calls him a 'crook'

New Delhi: The Arun Jaitley-Arvind Kejriwal defamation war intensified on Monday with the Union minister filing a fresh Rs 10 crore suit against the Delhi Chief Minister over an objectionable word used in court by Kejriwal’s counsel Ram Jethmalani last week.

Jaitley filed the case against Kejriwal in Delhi High Court over the word “crook” used by Jethlamalani while the senior lawyer was cross-examining, which had to be stopped after an intense verbal duel broke out between the once-close legal associates.

Jaitley’s lawyer Manik Dogra told media, “We have filed a fresh suit for defamation against Arvind Kejriwal seeking Rs 10 crore in damages for ex-facie defamation as his lawyer Ram Jethmalani, in the open court, called Mr Jaitley a crook.”

Dogra added that the statement by Jethmalani was recorded in the judicial order, where he had stated that he used the words on “specific instructions of his client” Kejriwal.

The fresh defamation suit by Jaitley will now be a separate case from the ongoing defamation suit against Kejriwal and five other Aam Aadmi Party leaders, also of Rs 10 crore.

Last week, the Delhi High Court saw Jaitley losing his cool when Jethmalani, 93, used the word “crook” to describe him. Jaitley, who appeared before Joint Registrar Deepali Sharma, asked Jethmalani whether the word was used as per instructions from Kejriwal.

Jethmalani replied back, saying the said word has been used by him on instructions from his client (Kejriwal). “If this is so, I would aggravate the charges against the defendant (Kejriwal),” said an upset Jaitley, adding there was a limit to personal malice.

However, Anupam Srivastav, advocate on record for Kejriwal since the beginning of the suit, submitted that Jathmalani had no instructions to use the word against Jaitley.

In December 2015, Jaitley had filed the first civil defamation suit seeking Rs 10 crore damages from Kejriwal and five other AAP leaders – Raghav Chadha, Kumar Vishwas, Ashutosh, Sanjay Singh and Deepak Bajpai – for accusing him of financial irregularities in the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) of which he was the President from 2000 to 2013.

The UGC has also acted in contravention and beyond powers conferred upon them under the University Grants Commission Act, 1956,” said the plea, filed through advocates Dhruv Pande and Randeep Sachdeva.It sought to direct the authorities to promote final year students on the basis of average of the marks obtained in previous years and internal assessment in the present year.On July 6, the UGC had issued revised exam guidelines mandating to hold final examinations in colleges and universities by the end of September stating that the academic credibility, career opportunities and future progress of students were linked to exams.
