A petition urging the Punjab and Haryana Excessive Courtroom to direct Panjab College, Chandigarh, to conduct speedy Senate elections has been filed by Vaibhav Vats and one other petitioner. They argue that the college’s failure to provoke the election course of, regardless of the Senate’s tenure expiring on October 31, 2024, violates the Panjab College Act.
The petitioners contend that the delay in elections undermines the college’s democratic governance, because the Panjab College Act, 1947, mandates periodic Senate elections. They declare that their appeals to the college’s Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, and Chief Secretary for well timed elections have gone unanswered.
The petition emphasises that with out a duly elected Senate, the college’s governance is impacted, leaving choices on essential issues in abeyance.
