The Delhi High Court on Thursday dismissed the petitions challenging the implementation of semester system in undergraduate courses of Delhi University for academic Year 2010-11.
A bench of acting chief justice B D Ahmed and justice Veena Birbal dismissed the two petitions moved by Delhi University Teachers Association and Nandini Dutta, a teacher at DU.
‘We have consciously not been drawn into the debate as to whether the semester system is more appropriate than the annual system or vice-versa. ‘The reason for this is clear. The courts are ill-equipped to comment on such matters or arrive at value judgments,’ the court said.
