Important cases heard in the Delhi High Court on Thursday, April 27:
* HC set aside a Delhi University (DU) order debarring a Congress leader for a year for his alleged involvement in the on-campus screening of a banned BBC documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots, saying the action was taken in violation of the principle of natural justice.
* HC advanced the hearing on the bail plea of Vijay Nair, businessman and Aam Aadmi Party’s communication in-charge arrested in a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, but remarked that it amounted to putting pressure on the court.
* HC refused to extend the interim bail on medical grounds of liquor businessman Sameer Mahendru in a money laundering case related to alleged irregularities in the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.

* HC has quashed the summons issued to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray by a court in Bokaro in an alleged hate speech case, observing faith and religion are more resilient and cannot be hurt or provoked by the views of an individual.
* S Gurumurthy, the editor of a Chennai-based Tamil news magazine, Thursday refused to file another affidavit in HC tendering an unconditional apology for his tweet against Justice S Muralidhar.
* HC sought the stand of the Delhi University on a petition by St Stephen’s College against the varsity’s notification insisting on admissions under minority quota solely on the basis of common university entrance test (CUET) scores, without any interview.
