Are examination result on cumulative basis? : Court

Prof Ajay Arora will explain this: Adv M Rupal
We have submitted everything. It is based on the average of all students : Prof Arora
Adv Amir Pasrich: Students are assessed individually. Now they are saying there is standard deviation and averaging out.
Adv Pasrich appears for a student who has obtained provisional admission in a foreign university.

The way we calculate the result is in the affidavit: Prof Arora.
Court breaks for 10 mins to enable the members of the Grievance Redressal Committee to go through DU's affidavit.
Hearing resumes.
We have to see if cumulative or comparative grade point system is followed: Court
There was no dispute that results in a confidential manner was to be sent for PG students/LLB students because there was no grading for them: Senior Adv BB Gupta from Grievance Redressal Committee
It was never agreed upon before the Court. It was decided in a meeting of the GRC: Adv Rupal for DU
The mins were recorded with the consent of all. It was decided that the result of PG/LLB students would be complied by September 10 : Adv Kamal Gupta from GRC
As per the earlier order that Mr BB Gupta is referring to, we said we would start evaluation in 15 days. We can't declare the results on the same day: Adv Rupal
You were to forward the answer sheets on the same day on the exam: Court

Answer sheets were to be collected from portal and email: Adv Rupal

We're not saying that were started after 15 days: Adv Rupal
Prof DS Rawat: It is done by Director, Computer Centre. Distribution has already started.

Assuming it took you two days to sort out the answer sheets, did you send them for evaluation on the third day? : Court

Papers were sent after Aug 31: Court is informed
I joined on August 26 only: Prof Rawat

We are concerned with the university: Court
The single judge had ordered that the papers had to be sent for evaluation simultaneously: Senior Adv Gupta
We had asked that all concerned officials must join the hearing: Court

Prof Rawat calls another DU official to ask as to when the evaluation of papers started.

Is this how we are going to conduct our hearing? : Court
What should we do now? : Court

Can Prof Sanjeev Singh join the hearing? : Adv Rupal asks DU official.
He is not able to join : Prof Rawat

We took a break so that everyone could join. This is most unacceptable: Court
The link was sent : Adv Rupal

Please answer of Prof Sanjeev can join? : Adv Rupal asks Prof Rawat

I will ask: Prof Rawat

Then you say you are getting adverse publicity. You do it yourself: Court
In your affidavit you talk about "combined result". Does it refer to a single student or the entire batch? : Court
The evaluation system was changed in 2017 by the Vice chancellor: Senior Adv BB Gupta
For students prior to 2017, there is no system in grading system: Court notes.
So the new evaluation only applies to students who entered in 2019 and not others: Court
Therefore, the old procedure of totalling the marks of each student would apply : Court

The present final year joined in 2017. So now can confidential results be declared for students going abroad? : Court
For those PG students who want to go abroad, there is no issue. 8 Students have come so far: Adv Rupal
For UG, just for confidential results, we can issue tentative results subject to correction, based on past performance. 188 students are there from almost every streams: Adv Rupal
The result would be sent directly to the foreign university: Adv Rupal
Avg of all semester will come as marks for the final semester. We have approved a format. It will be for students who have no black paper and have appeared in all OBE..it can be sent to foreign universities: Prof Rawat
We need a day's time to see if we are within the permissible limits. We are trying to help the students: Adv Rupal
The idea is to take the matter to its logical conclusion: Court
We have tried to review ourselves and give best possible help: Adv Rupal
At least for LLB students, there is no question of comparative marking. For LLB/PG , there are only 8. This can be done: Court

The examiners are already hard pressed. Our endeavour is to do it ASAP: Adv Rupal
For PG, teachers are already expedited the process: Prof Rawat
There is a particular format of Cambridge. I need to upload the comfort letter : Adv Sukhija for a student.

Confidential result cannot be shared. It has to go directly to the foreign university : Court

I need them to indicate the date of declaration of result: Adv Sukhija
We can't say when that would be : Adv Rupal
Cambridge gave me September 19 as last date to upload the letter. They say that the date of result is not mentioned and it should be before October 10: Adv Sukhija

You have to have a macro view. You have to be aware of the ground realities also: Court
We will try to work out and come with a proposal: Adv Rupal

Can you do it (declare result) before Oct 10?: Court

Give us time: Adv Rupal
Let the university not sent out further comfort letter. Some damage seems to have been done by letters which state that results will come in October end : Adv Kamal Gupta
I will take clarification from DU on how students are being evaluated: Adv Rupal

Ask him now.. he' s here: Court

On Monday we will clarify: Adv Rupal

I don't have this information right now : Prof Rawat
His is Acting Dean of Examination. Prof Gupta is on leave : Adv Rupal
I will make sure that everyone is present on Monday : Adv Rupal
Court begins dictating the order.
Court records the submissions and the affidavit filed by DU.
Students have been informed that DU will send a comfort letter to the foreign universities concerned: Court records
Comfort letter for 46 students were dispatched without factoring in the final draft by the GRC : Court

Even the work "open" was misspelt as "pen book examination": Adv Pasrich
180 UG students have applied for comfort letters. They are in different streams: Court records
Some discussion has taken place on sending a provisional result.. : Court records.

Court may not record it today as we are still discussing it: Adv Rupal
Court records that the officials are discussing with the issue and trying to arrive at a proposal.

The aspect of cumulative grade point average vis a vis comparative grade point avg is not clear. Appropriate light shall be thrown on the next date of hearing: Court
Things will be resolved by September 14. We are equally anxious: Court tells Adv Sukhija

Hearing adjourned till Monday, September 14.

Attorney General R Venkataramani: Recently in Brazil after the conference ended everyone started dancing. what if I ask everyone here to dance on your retirement and I am sure most will vote in favour of me.
SG Tushar Mehta: Complete impartiality in dispensation of justice. We were never hesitant in good or bad matters before you. For govt we won few we lost many but we knew that we did not get an opportunity to convince the court and put our point forward. My lord has always taken a stand as the karta of the family

#BREAKING Supreme Court to State of UP: How can you just enter someone's home and demolish it without following course of law or serving notice?

CJI DY Chandrachud: We are not inclined to accept the request of the State of UP to adjourn the proceedings since pleadings are completed and the court is required to evaluate the materials placed before to decide legality of action.

#SupremeCourtofIndia @myogiofficeImage
CJI: The following position emerges from narration of facts: state of UP has not produced original width of state highway notified as national highway, no material was placed to show whether any inquiry was conducted to figure out encroachers, there is no material produced to indicate that land was acquired before demolition was carried out. The state has failed to disclose the precise extent of encroachments, the width of the existing road, the width of notified highway, extent of property of petitioner which feel within central line of highway and why the demolition was needed beyond the area of alleged encroachment. NHRC report shows demolition was far in excess than the area of alleged encroachment. #SupremeCourtofIndia
#BREAKING

CJI: The demolition was carried out without any notice or disclosure to the occupiers of the basis of the demarcation or the extent of demolition to be carried out. It is clear demolition was high handed and without the authority of law. The petitioner states the demolition was only because the petitioner had flagged irregularities in road construction in newspaper report. Such action by the state cannot be countenanced and when dealing with private property law has to be followed.
