RAJESH KUMAR vs INST. OF ENGINEERS (INDIA)

The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of examination results by the Institute of Engineers was arbitrary and lacked justification, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the examinees were not given a fair opportunity to defend themselves against allegations of copying, as required under Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court directed the Institute to declare the results of the appellants, thereby reinstating their eligibility to appear in future examinations.
