It was also claimed that his fundamental rights were not respected so he was forced to file a written petition in Delhi High Court on 22nd June 2020 against the VC selection committee and NLU Delhi as well.
The Delhi High Court in its video conference hearing yesterday said that the petition was premature (see below), since the selection of the committee was with the chancellor at present, and disposed of the application, for the time being, declining to issue a stay.
However, the court noted that NLU Delhi’s registrar should forward the Prasannanshu’s “representation before the Chancellor for consideration”.
