AGE CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI
June 21: The Delhi high court on Monday restrained the Delhi University Teach-ers’ Association (Duta) from obstructing the admission process for the academic year 2010-2011. Duta is agitating against the implementation of semester system for undergraduate students. In an interim order, Justice A.K. Pathak said, “Keeping in mind the career of a large number of students, it is ordered that till the next date of hearing, Duta and its office bearers are restrained from obstru-cting admission process in any manner whatsoever.”
The court passed the order after hearing a petition filed by DU seeking direction to Duta not to indulge in any agitation or obstruct the admission process. The court issued a notice to Duta and sought its response by August 16.
