The Delhi High Court declined an urgent hearing on a PIL seeking hostel facilities in every Delhi University college. The court asked the lawyer to file the petition, saying it would be automatically listed on Wednesday, the designated PIL day.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday rejected to hear an urgent public interest litigation (PIL) seeking directives from the University of Delhi (DU) to guarantee hostel facilities are accessible in all university-affiliated colleges.

Advocate Vimal Tyagi brought the case before a Division Bench made up of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia for an urgent hearing.

Court says PIL will be taken up on wednesday

Chief Justice Upadhyaya stated at the hearing that no interim directives could be given in the case on Tuesday, according to the Bar and Bench report. The Bench also mentioned that the court had already heard another PIL on the matter the day before.

However, Tyagi said that the pleas in his petition differed from those mentioned in the PIL that was heard on Monday.
