The Delhi High Court has refused to give an urgent hearing to two cross petitions on four-year undergraduate programme of Delhi University.
Of the petitions, one was for implementation of the four-year undergraduate programme and the other was against it.
The petitions were mentioned before a vacation bench of justices Pratibha Rani and V Kameswar Rao. The bench said that the matter requires effective hearing which can't be done by a vacation bench.
It said the admissions will not be affected and the matter will be heard in July. The plea challenging the University Grants Commission's (UGC) notification to scrap FYUP has been filed by Delhi University professor Aditya Narayan Mishra, while the PIL seeking implementation of the commission's decision to restore the earlier three-year undergraduate programme has been filed by an advocate.
Mishra, a former Delhi University Teachers' Association President and an Assistant Professor at Aurobindo College, had yesterday moved the Supreme Court. The apex court had refused to intervene in the matter and directed him to approach the high court.
