Decision |
The petitioner, Awais Javaid, availed four chances but failed to pass the Part-II M.B.,B.S. Examination. His name was struck off from the College roll. The court found that the rules regarding examinations are binding on students and do not infringe upon their right to education. The argument that self-financing students should have unlimited chances was dismissed as frivolous. The petition was ultimately dismissed in limine. |
