The Delhi High Court on Friday granted one-day exemption to Delhi University’s former Vice-Chancellor Deepak Pental from personal appearance before a trial court on February 28 in a case of alleged plagiarism, cheating and forgery filed against him.
Justice Sunil Gaur also granted similar relief to KVSK Prasad, who has also been summoned as accused in the case, after his counsel requested that he be exempted for a day, as he is presently residing in the US. “They (Pental and Prasad) are exempted from personal appearance for one day,” the court said, adding that the two should, however, move proper application in this regard before the court concerned.
Pental and Prasad sought relief when the High Court was hearing their plea seeking quashing of the trial court summon issued on November 18, 2013 and to stay the proceedings of alleged plagiarism, cheating and forgery filed against them.
