Panjab University’s democratic structure is set to be restored as Chancellor C.P. Radhakrishnan approved the senate election schedule. Elections for the 91-member senate will take place between September 7 and October 4, 2026, ending months of uncertainty and student protests. While celebrations erupted, a student group continues its agitation over pending demands.  NEW DELHI/CHANDIGARH: In a breakthrough for Panjab University’s long-stalled governance process, Vice-President C P Radhakrishnan – in his capacity as the university’s chancellor – has approved the schedule for the senate elections, setting the stage for a full restoration of the institution’s decades-old democratic structure. The communication, issued by the VP’s Secretariat to PU vice-chancellor Renu Vig on Thursday, formally ends months of uncertainty and a student-led agitation.The mood on campus immediately shifted from tension to celebration, but PU Bachao Morcha said its protest was not yet over, and that further negotiations would take place on pending demands. VC Vig briefly stepped out to meet the protesters and urged them to call off the dharna.The elections for various constituencies of the91-member senate, the university’s top decision-making body, will be held between Sept 7 and Oct 4, 2026, with polling and result dates notified constituency-wise. The previous senate’s term ended in Oct 2024, but fresh elections had remained in limbo for more than a year.The development marks a positive turn after weeks of protests led by the PU Bachao Morcha, which had been pressing the administration to announce the poll schedule. Students had launched their agitation earlier this year in response to the Centre’s Oct 28 notification proposing sweeping changes to the composition and powers of the senate and syndicate. After meeting the students, the education ministry withdrew the notification on Nov 7, fully restoring the electoral system.The VP’s Secretariat communication confirmed the approval based on PU’s proposal submitted on Nov 9.The Morcha said the protest would continue until it received written assurance on three pending matters: quashing of FIRs against 14 students booked during a previous senate protest in 2024, rollback of recently introduced SOPs regulating elections and student activities, and scrapping of the committee formed to review demands raised by Haryana students regarding representation and possible college re-affiliation.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndia Is a Key Ally, Cyprus Assures Strong Push to Finalise India–EU FTA TalksImran Khan Health Rumour: PTI Holds Sit In Outside Adiala Jail, KP CM Sohail Afridi Stages ProtestRam Madhav Challenges ‘No-Religion’ Narrative in White Collar Terror DebateAustralia Says India Is Now A Leading Global Power, Credits PM Modi For Transforming World DynamicsOusted PM Sheikh Hasina Faces Fresh Conviction as Court Awards 21-Year TermPM Modi Announces Major Move Allowing Private Players Into Nuclear Sector To Spur Advanced ReactorsExplained: Why Vikram-I Could Transform India’s Satellite Launch Market And Global Space Leadership‘Pak, Bangladesh, US…’: BJP Alleges Congress Using Foreign ‘X’ Accounts to Set India’s NarrativePakistan’s Adiala Jail Issues Statement On Imran Khan’s Health Amid Viral Death RumoursThe Indrajaal Ranger: India Unveils AI-Enabled Anti-Drone Patrol Vehicle In Hyderabad123PhotostoriesBollywood gems reviving forgotten tales with fresh heart and magic for a new generation of cinema lovers everywhereFun facts about the ‘Stranger Things’ castFrom ‘Apne’ to ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’: Dharmendra movies you can watch on OTT platforms‘Stranger Things 5’: Meet the new cast and find out who survives the final battle‘Stranger Things’ cast: Then and now‘Stranger Things’ cast: Educational qualificationsTaarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: From Dilip Joshi being older than Amit Bhatt to Mandar Chandwadkar leaving his Dubai job for acting; Lesser-known facts about the castGastroenterologist doctor reveals the power of eating 3 eggs everyday5 must-visit national parks in the USA that are also UNESCO World Heritage Sites5 things to do during Brahma Muhurta for 21 days to transform your life123Hot PicksDelhi AQI TodayNew Labour CodeWorld NewsGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingToronto Maple LeafsAyesha CurryFuzzy ZoellerCristiano RonaldoStefon DiggsGabrielle UnionVanessa BryantReed Sheppard GirlfriendStephen CurryCandace Owens

NEW DELHI: Congress general secretary K C Venugopal and RJD MP Manoj Jha on Thursday told Supreme Court that the Election Commission has no power to determine citizenship of a voter, yet through an “unconstitutional” pan-India Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of state electoral rolls is seeking proof of Indian citizenship from voters.Jha’s counsel Kapil Sibal told a bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi that the kind of documents that are being sought from voters through enumeration forms under SIR will disfranchise lakhs and lakhs of voters who would not have documents to show their date of birth, landholding ownership or parents birth certificates. “That is why we are insisting that Aadhaar must be the basis for enrolment in voter list,” Sibal said.’Your Future Is Being Stolen’: Rahul Gandhi’s Bold Message to India’s Gen Z For Democratic ChangeFor Venugopal, senior advocate A M Singhvi said the basis and ground for SIR are both wrong. EC is conducting a pan-India SIR when Representation of the People Act empowers it to conduct it for a constituency. The SC asked if the reason for SIR is to eliminate the dead from the voter list, would such a reason confine the exercise to one constituency or all constituencies?Singhvi, also appearing for TMC MP Mahua Moitra and NGO People’s Union for Civil Liberties, agreed with Sibal and said the entire exercise is exclusionary. “EC is conducting this exercise with a figment of imagination that masses of illegal migrants are marauding across India. And, the procedure adopted for conducting this exclusionary exercise is neither prescribed by the Constitution nor the RP Act,” he said.Venugopal’s counsel said, “There had been several revisions of electoral rolls since 2003. On one hand, EC is not asking those whose names figure in the 2003 voters’ list for any document. On the other hand, a voter enrolled after 2003 is being discriminatorily asked to prove everything, including citizenship.””Through this exercise to illegally seek proof of citizenship, EC is converting itself into a citizenship tribunal, which is beyond its constitutional mandate. EC can supplement the process prescribed in the RP Act, but not supplant it,” Singhvi said.Sibal said teachers and other govt employees are engaged as booth level officers (BLOs) who have neither the knowledge nor expertise in scrutinising documentary proofs of citizenship nor are they legally empowered to do so as determination of citizenship is entrusted to the ministry of home affairs.Countering Sibal’s assertion, EC counsel Eklavya Dwivedi said BLOs do not scrutinise documents. This is being done by electoral registration officers, who are SDM-level bureaucrats. Sibal said it is the BLO who scrutinises documents and sends doubtful cases to ERO.
