Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court took suo motu cognizance of a serious issue regarding the conduct of an educational institution and its compliance with the Contempt of Courts Act. The Court highlighted the necessity for institutions to obtain proper permissions and affiliations to confer valid degrees or diplomas, as seen in the case of Lokmata Indira Gandhi College of Sports. The Court emphasized that students who missed examinations due to administrative failures should not be denied their rights, establishing a principle that educational institutions must adhere to legal and procedural norms to protect student interests.
