The Delhi High Court on Friday (September 19, 2025) expressed displeasure over the use of luxury cars such as Bentley, Rolls Royce — and even JCBs — during the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) election campaigns.
“From where do they get such big cars…Bentley, Rolls Royce, Ferraris. How are the students getting this? We haven’t even heard of these cars,” it added. ASG Chetan Sharma submitted that there can be no doubt that the elections should be conducted in an orderly manner. Referring to Delhi Police’s updated status report, he said that a total of 6,000 challans have been issued in the vicinity of the colleges, adding that the polls have been conducted in far more orderly manner than previous years.
According to sources, the High Court issued notices to newly-elected DUSU president Aryan Mann of the ABVP and vice-president Rahul Jhansla of NSUI. Others include secretary Kunal Chaudhary and joint secretary Deepika Jha. Both belong to ABVP.
The High Court said elections of students union — be it students union of Delhi University or its other affiliated colleges — had become an yearly feature and the way these polls had shaped over the years was a “cause of concern for every responsible institution and citizen”.
The Bench added, “It appears that students have not learnt a lesson from last year’s order…. Sabse zyada niraash to hum students se hai [We are most disappointed with students],” the Bench said.
