Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy of Telangana High Court on Monday directed Congress workers to file a fresh petition, challenging rejection of their application by Osmania University registrar for permission to convene a face-to-face interaction of students with their party president and MP Rahul Gandhi on the varsity premises.
Research scholar and Congress party spokesperson Manavatha Roy and three others moved a House Motion on Sunday seeking instruction to OU registrar to permit to convene the programme on May 7 at Tagore auditorium on OU campus. The petitioners stated that they had given a written representation to the registrar on April 22.
“The registrar neither granted permission nor gave any response,” the petitioners said.
