New Delhi: Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) administration has moved to Delhi High Court seeking contempt action against Delhi police and protesting JNU students and JNUSU leaders.
In its plea, the JNU administration has sought students for allegedly violating Delhi High Court's ruling which restrain them to protest within 100 meters of the admin block of university.
