Judgment text excerpt
The Kerala High Court addressed the controversy regarding the electoral format for student bodies, determining that the recommendations of the Lyngdoh Committee, which emphasized criminalization, financial transparency, and eligibility criteria, must be adhered to for fair elections. The Court upheld the necessity of these recommendations, issuing a notice of contempt against JNU officials for non-compliance with the established guidelines. The Court's holding reinforced the importance of following the Lyngdoh Committee's directives in conducting student elections across universities in India.
