I have given data on how many students appeared in the OBE. The data was recorded by the Division Bench of the Court: Adv M Rupal for DU.

This data is for the first data. It includes everything: Adv Rupal as he asks the Court to take a look at the DB order.

Why can't you file an affidavit: Court

I'll send the affidavit filed before the DB: Adv Rupal

OBE has been a big success. The participation in the first phase was as much as in normal examination: Senior Adv Sachin Dutta for DU

Even for the second phase, most students have opted for online mode: Dutta

For PG students who are going abroad, we will declare results give month itself: Dutta

Senior Adv BB Gupta says that the issue of remuneration of the Chairperson of the Grievance Redressal Committee is still persisting.

There is an Acting Registrar. On the letter head, particulars can be given : Rupal

I don't think there's a need to do this.. I'll give three days maximum: Court as it notes that there is an order to this effect.

Adv Kamal Gupta from the Grievance Redressal Committee says that the Committee has not received any report from the Grievance Redressal Officers on the communication of the Committee's decision to the students.

There was a delay on my part. Now I have communicated all : Prof Ajay Arora (Grievance Redressal Officer)

How many complaints were there? : Court

23: Arora

Gupta points out that there were more.

23+9+7 decisions were there: Grievance Redressal Committee

Right from day 1, there is unnecessary suspension: Dutta for DU

DU is acting like that : Court

Mr Arora is saying that he has forwarded all decisions: Dutta

I'll personally talk to GRC and clarify. Please give me a date: Arora

The Court did not say anything. Your senior counsel is saying that you will file an affidavit: Court

You unnecessarily took it to an aggresive level : Court to DU counsel

Suppose something is missing, I'm a teacher by profession, I'll take care of it: Arora

You are being fair: Court

Court starts dictating the order.

Court records the submissions made before it.

Court records that the second phase was OBE is going on smoothly.

In case any decisions have been missed out, the same will be taken care of. Mr Arora is given two days to communicate ..: Court records

Let a complete statement on the date-wise communication of decision of GRC to students be given a status report : Court

There are many undergraduate students who have applied for special results but have not received. Also, certain Indian Universities are pressing for final results: Adv Akash Sinha

This issue is likely to be dealt by the Division Bench: Senior Adv BB Gupta

I'll deal with it after DB then: Court

Court is informed about the development before Division Bench with respect to students who are going abroad.

Can we be informed as to who are these Indian Universities who are pressing for final results? : Adv Kurup for UGC

I'm not appearing for them: Sinha

Adv Sinha to communicate it to Adv Kurup: Court records in order.

A large number of issues were sorted due to the inputs from Mr BB Gupta, Kamal Gupta and the Chairperson as well as court: Dutta

OBE was possible because of large no of people cooperating. There is no need to be aggressive: Court
