A notice has been served to Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) vice-presidential candidate Pravesh Malik due to having an FIR on his name.
‘Yes, the notice has been given but since it was not proved that he was convicted, so it has been withdrawn from the DU website. Since he is an activist, so there might be an FIR on his name but that doesn’t say that he has been convicted. The court has not given its verdict yet. And there is no violation of rule,’ said Rohit Chahal, national secretary, ABVP.
The notification issued by chief election officer DS Rawat said that Refer to clause 6.5.7 of Lyngdoh Committtee Recommendations, ‘The candidate shall not have a criminal record, that is to say he should not have been tried and/or convicted to any criminal offence or misdemeanor. The candidate shall also not have been subject to any disciplinary action by the University Authorities.’
The notice further added: ‘Mr Parvesh Malik is now served notice to give reply as per clause referred above and papers attached by tomorrow i.e. Saturday 6/09/2014 by 11:00 am failing which your candidature will be cancelled without giving you further notice.’
