National Board Of Examinations vs Gaurav Khanna & Ors

The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition filed by the National Board of Examinations against the interim order of the High Court directing the second respondent College to accept the thesis of the first respondent and allow him to sit for the DNB examination. The Court upheld the High Court's discretion in granting interim relief to prevent the first respondent from losing a year, while clarifying that compliance with the interim order would not create any equities if the writ petition is ultimately unsuccessful. The Court also requested the High Court to expedite the final hearing of the writ petition within six months.
