The Delhi High Court said on Tuesday that instead of taking action against the student of law threatening teachers at several times in Delhi University, the university is grappling with its head in the sand and behaving like a ostrich.

A bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Deepak Sharma told the University, "There is a complete legal system lacking and you have kept your head in the sand like the ostrich."

The bench also told the university that the court will not allow the non-compliance of the law to roam freely in the premises.

The court last year was hearing some petitions filed by some students with the dean of law faculty and professors of Delhi University in connection with alleged misbehavior. In this case, the bench also resented Delhi Police and said that it is a matter of law and it can not be expected from the courts that they should deploy police in the law faculty of DU.

Earlier, the police had told the court that even after registering several FIRs against former president of Dusu, Satendra Awana, he was threatening the teachers.

On behalf of the police, permanent counsel Rahul Mehra said that the chargesheet was filed on October 17 in the lower court and the date of next hearing is January 9, 2018. After this, the bench fixed November 15 for further hearing in the case so that the Nyayamitra appointed by them could study the chargesheets filed by the police. Delhi Police has also been given time to file a status report in the case.

It is notable that the Delhi High Court had said just a few days ago that terrorizing the teachers is a very shocking act of which no one can imagine.

It was told to the court that a student studying law at the University of Delhi was threatened a female lecturer after being caught copying him, after which the High Court said this. While expressing anger at the incident, a bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Najmi Vaziri had said that calling such institutions as school and addressing such persons as a student is a curse.
