Naseem vs State Of Haryana And Ors.

The Supreme Court upheld the denial of admission to the petitioner on the basis that she obtained her qualifying examination from an unrecognized institution, affirming that an autonomous educational institution is not compelled to admit candidates lacking requisite qualifications. The Court clarified that the principle of promissory estoppel does not apply in this context since the admission was denied at the threshold. Consequently, the Court dismissed the special leave petition, agreeing with the High Court's decision.
