We treat the resolution of Dyal Singh College Staff Council as a resolution passed in anxiety and decidedly misguided in law. While expressing our displeasure in respect of the resolution, we advisedly refrain ourselves from taking any action against the teachers or the staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The bench also said, &#8220;However, we repeat our order which was passed on earlier occasion and command the teachers of the University and the affiliated colleges not to deviate and to extend fullest cooperation on all aspects and in all spheres pertaining to teaching in the semester mode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We hope and trust that the teaching community, which is expected to be a disciplined one, shall not compel this court to take any stringent action because of their conduct or action in future. They should await the verdict of this court.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the issue of validating the varsity&#8217;s move to implement semester system in all its courses from the current academic year, the court ordered the matter be listed on July 12 for final disposal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As of now, there are 13 courses, including physics, chemistry, botany and zoology, which follow the semester system in the university.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A petition by the DUTA challenging the implementation of semester system for undergraduate students has been pending before the court since last year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court on Monday said that no contempt proceedings would be initiated against the teachers of Delhi University-affiliated Dyal Singh College who had flouted the court&#8217;s order by protesting against the semester system, but asked all teachers to cooperate in the system&#8217;s implementation. &nbsp;
