The Delhi High Court today termed as "unfortunate and sad" the holding of classes in JNU on its staircases amid an agitation against a decision to make at least 75 percent attendance a must for all the students.

Ruing the joint stir by the students and the teachers, the court said the manner in which the students, keen to attend classes, are being stopped is "very unfortunate."
When senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the professors, said the sad part was that classes were taking place on staircases, the judge responded, "It is... It is really sad."
