HC orders DU to admit minority student to St Stephen's

The Delhi High Court on Friday said its order permitting a minority category student to attend classes amid a purported seat allocation dispute between St Stephen's College and Delhi University has to be complied with

- 

A bench of Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela was informed by the university that it had moved a plea seeking the recall of the court's October 28 order permitting the student to attend classes till further orders.

"If the contemnors think they are above the law, we will tell them they are not... We will call them here to explain their conduct. Our order may be right or wrong, but you have to comply with it. This court is of the view that till the order is recalled, the same has to be complied with," said the bench.

A plea seeking contempt action was moved against the officials of the university for a "willful noncompliance" of the judicial order.
