CENTRAL BOARD OF SEC. EDUCATION vs NIKHIL GULATI

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of ineligible students being allowed to take Board and University examinations under court orders, emphasizing that such aberrations should not set a precedent. The Court criticized the casual discretion exercised by lower courts, stating it undermines the 'Rule of Law' and promotes the 'Rule of Man'. Ultimately, the Court declined to interfere with the High Court's decision under Article 136 of the Constitution, dismissing the Special Leave Petitions (SLPs).
