A local court has restrained agitating students of Punjabi University from protesting or raising slogans outside the Vice Chancellor's Office.
The orders have been pasted at a vantage point outside the office of the VC and students have been requested to abide by the court orders and lift their dharna immediately.
The students have mainly been demanding keeping open girls' hostels 24 hours.
The court passed these orders on November 11 on a petition filed by the university after hearing the counsel for the varsity and from perusal of the documents on record mainly against the leaders of the Democratic Welfare Organisation (DSO).
The plea demanded permanent injunction restraining the defendants, members of their unions, their leaders and workers from holding demonstration, meetings, damaging or closing gates, doors of any department/branch of the university, deans and heads of department and obstructing the entry of various offices and residences beyond a radius of 300 metres from the outer boundary wall of the university.
Meanwhile, resignations of Amaritpal Kaur (Additional Dean Students for girls), Ravneet Kaur (Additional Provost for girls) and Jaspal Kaur (senior warden) submitted by them in protest against using foul language by some of the students against them, have not been accepted by the authorities.
