JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY vs B.S. NARWAL

The Supreme Court held that the removal of a student's name from university rolls due to unsatisfactory academic performance does not require an opportunity to be heard unless there are allegations of bias or mala fides. The Court emphasized that the assessment of a student's academic performance is within the purview of the university authorities, and courts are not equipped to judge such assessments. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's decision that had favored the respondent.
