1. These petitions have been filed primarily on the ground that the Disciplinary Authority and the Appellate Authority are the same i.e., the Governing Body, and it is in violation of Article 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India.
2. Today, we have been informed by Mr. Mohinder Rupal, learned counsel for the respondent/ University of Delhi that, as per the counter affidavit filed by the University of Delhi, the relevant rules have been amended whereby the Appeal in respect of Group C and B employees (non- teaching staff) shall lie before the Dean of the Colleges, whereas, the Vice Chancellor shall be the appellate authority for the Group A employees.
