Laxmi Sharma & Ors vs V.C., Chhatrapati Sahuji Maharaj ...

The Supreme Court ruled that the Himalaya Ayurvedic Medical College's admissions from 1992 to 1995 were invalid due to lack of affiliation under Section 37(2) of the Uttar Pradesh State University Act. The Court emphasized that students cannot be permitted to appear for examinations without proper affiliation, despite interim orders from the Allahabad High Court allowing them to do so. The Court upheld the principle that educational institutions must comply with statutory requirements for affiliation to ensure the validity of student admissions and examinations.
