Justice Prateek Jalan has instructed the counsel for DUSU to appease the court on the union’s locus standi in filing this petition on the next date of hearing on 10 November. Though the counsel for the university was not present at the hearing. Accordingly, the court asked the DUSU counsel Ashish Dixit to satisfy the petition copy to him.
