State Of Punjab vs M/S. Bandeep Singh & Ors on 25 August, 2015
27. Now coming to the application filed by the applicant
namely Rajat Choudhary is concerned, Mr. Gupta has opposed
the maintainability of the application as the same is by a person,
who was defeated by the petitioner. There is no dispute that the
action challenged is of the Delhi University declaring the
petitioner ineligible for contesting the post of President. It is the
legality of the said action, which has to be decided by this Court.
The applicant has sought his intervention on the ground that the
petitioner was also ineligible, as per other recommendations of
the Lyngdoh Committee, which have been accepted by the
Supreme Court, is no reason to seek his intervention, as he is
neither proper nor a necessary party. Mr. Gupta may be right in
contending that the order has to be tested on the reasoning given
W.P.(C) No. 7980/2017 Page 35 of 37
by the University in declaring the petitioner ineligible, which
submissions have already been noted above by relying upon
various judgments of the Supreme Court including Mohinder
Singh Gill (supra), Union of India v. H.P. Chothia (supra),
State of Punjab v. Bandeep Singh (supra) is appealing. I do not
see any merit in the application for intervention. But at the same
time, it must be noted, the petitioner in his affidavit has stated
"That I have not failed in the preceding academic year and / or
re-admitted in the current year" which in view of the fact that the
petitioner got admission in M.A. Buddhist Studies in August,
2017 in which elections were held, is an incorrect fact.
