The Delhi High Court today allowed Delhi University to undertake the process of counting votes for Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections on or before November 26, provided all the sites which were defaced by the contesting candidates are cleaned up and repainted within a week. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela said that it is the responsibility of the candidates and the current students of Delhi University to ensure that the next batch gets to use the varsity’s infrastructure in good and clean condition.

In September, the Court halted the process of counting votes for the elections of Delhi University and other colleges in the wake of candidates indulging in acts of vandalism and defacement of public and private properties.
