The Delhi High Court is listening to a petition concerning the Delhi University online OBE exams. The Delhi University appealed to the HC to hear the case through an in-camera hearing. However, the court denied the demand of the University of Delhi by asserting that this petition pertains to the public interest of the students, how can they proceed with the in-camera hearing.
Delhi High Court told the University of Delhi that there are certain guidelines for conducting camera hearings, and only by adhering to them, the general public is kept out from hearing on any case. The court asserted that it is not possible to go for camera hearings concerning this case when the case is concerned with several students. The camera hearings proceed when the identity of the victim is to be kept hidden, or in case of rape or other sensitive courses.
The High Court is hearing the plea concerning the problems of disabled students about Delhi University’s online OBE exams. The court was informed on behalf of these Delhi University students that they will be requiring comfort letters from the University till the mark sheets are provided.
