SHRI KRISHAN vs THE KURUKSHETRA UNIVERSITY, KURUKSHETRA

The Supreme Court held that the Kurukshetra University erred in cancelling the appellant's candidature for the Part II examination after initially allowing him to appear. Under Clause 2(b) of Ordinance X, the University could only withdraw the certificate of attendance before the examination, not after. The Court emphasized that it was the University's duty to scrutinize the admission form, and failure to do so negated any claim of fraud against the appellant. The High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was deemed inappropriate, and the appeal was allowed.
