Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, a diploma holder and Administrator/Instructor, was wrongfully denied admission to the B.E. degree course despite having secured over 60% marks in his Diploma Examination. The Court found that the University had entertained his late application based on a prior resolution from 1970, which created ambiguity in the admission process. The Court emphasized that the University must ensure its statutes and rules are clear and unambiguous, ultimately allowing the appeal and reinstating the appellant's admission.
