| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for leave to appeal against the judgment of the High Court. The Court upheld the decision of the University Authorities to remove the petitioner's name from the roll due to failure to secure the required minimum CGPA of 2.00 in the third semester. The Court emphasized that the interpretation of university regulations should primarily be the responsibility of the university itself, and courts should refrain from intervening unless a case of grave injustice is presented. The judgment of the High Court was found to be just and legal, and the petitioner's arguments regarding being allowed to repeat courses were rejected. |
