Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a suo motu contempt proceeding concerning the Lokmata Indira Gandhi College of Sports, which admitted students without prior government permission, violating the Contempt of Courts Act. The Court emphasized that institutions must obtain necessary approvals to confer valid diplomas, and reiterated that students who missed examinations due to administrative failures should be allowed to appear in future exams. The Court upheld the principle that educational institutions must comply with statutory requirements to ensure the validity of their qualifications.
