Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in directing the Bihar School Examination Board to declare results for students from an unrecognised college, as such recognition is a prerequisite for result declaration. The Court emphasized that the legitimacy of the educational institution is crucial for the validity of the examination results. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, allowing the appeal and ruling that results cannot be declared for students of unrecognised institutions.
