High Court orders release of ex-DUSU chief Ronak Khatri’s law degree
The Delhi High Court recently ordered the release of law degree and mark sheets for former Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) president Ronak Khatri. The court ruled on September 30, with the decision made public on October 12, stating that the degree and mark sheets cannot be withheld for non-payment of non-academic dues, as there is no clear statutory or regulatory authority to support such withholding.
During his tenure as DUSU president in 2024-25, Khatri allegedly owed the university around Rs 8 lakh in non-academic dues, which were allegedly incurred from December 2024 to August 2025. These expenses were reportedly for booking the International Guest House of DU and catering services in his official capacity. The court acknowledged the university's right to recover legitimate legal dues, but did not support the university's claim that Khatri owed the amount in question, as it was allegedly paid through DUSU funds for guest and student welfare activities.
