New Delhi: The teachers of Delhi University
on Thursday agreed before the High Court to declare the internal
assessment marks of the students, which was held up due to
their agitation against implementation of semester system for
undergraduate students.
Appearing for Delhi University Teachers Association
(DUTA), the counsel told Justice Sunil Gaur that it will
appeal to all its members tomorrow to release the internal
assessment marks of the students.
"The career of the students would not be affected due to
the impasse and a requisite appeal would be issued tomorrow,"
the counsel said.
The statement of the advocate came after the University
informed the Court that the Vice Chancellor will meet DUTA
members tomorrow evening and look into the issue raised by
them.
The Bench was hearing a petition filed by the University
seeking a direction restraining the agitating teachers from
going on strike and holding demonstrations repeatedly.
The University alleged that due to gherao and
demonstration the smooth functioning of the administration,
educational and examination system has been affected.
Following a letter from the University Grant Commission
(UGC) on March 21, DU has implemented the semester system for
the undergraduate students.
DUTA has been opposing the semester system for a long
time but matters came to a head when Vice Chancellor Deepak
Pental approved the new curricula for 12 science courses at
the academic council meeting last week.
According to council members, he had passed the
curriculum without discussion and walked out of the meeting.
