New Delhi: The tussle between one of India's leading educational institutions, St Stephen's College, and a society founded by Congress MP Sandeep Dikshit has entered the courts with the college filing a petition to stop the society from ‘misusing' its name.
The college's suit filed in the Delhi High Court said there already existed an alumni association promoted by the college and called ‘St Stephen's College Alumni Association and Executive' since last 50 years.
The society promoted by Dikshit and others, ‘The St Stephen's College Alumni Association', was alleged to have been created for interfering in the functioning of the college and with mala fide intentions.
St Stephen's alleged that Dikshit wanted to influence control of his alma mater and hence had got a member of the alumni association to suggest his name for nomination to the organisation's board. After the board withdrew Dikshit's nomination, he allegedly adopted a hostile attitude towards the college, accusing it of being a "communal institution".
