Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the first respondent was eligible for admission to the LL.B. course based on his M.A. degree, interpreting the eligibility criteria in the Handbook of Information. The Court clarified that the use of 'or' in the qualification requirements indicated that either a Bachelor's degree or a Master's degree sufficed for eligibility. The appellant's argument that a Bachelor's degree was mandatory was rejected, affirming the High Court's order to restore the first respondent's admission.
