DU student approaches HC after website claims she cancelled her admission

She immediately wrote to department head Roma Chatterji and V-C Yogesh Tyagi. Failing to get a response, she went to the Dean Students Welfare office in North Campus on July 31.

“The DSW office forwarded the letter to the HoD, asking why there has been cancellation of admission. With no response from the department head, she was forced to move court,” said Tarun Narang, Joshi’s lawyer.

Responding to the claim, Chatterji said, “Until I receive information, I will not be able to speak about this. I don’t know which case is being referred to.”

Ashutosh Bhardwaj, OSD admission, said the cancellation must have taken place as she applied to shift to another college: “We give students an option to switch colleges. If the student said yes, then her admission shows cancelled. She is allotted another college, where she has to take admission. To make the seat available for others, the admission shows cancelled.”

However, Joshi said she had not opted to switch colleges.
