Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision which directed Priyadarshini College to pay Rs. 5 lakhs as compensation to Manish Kumar for wrongful admission into the B.Tech program despite not meeting the required 60% marks. The Court emphasized that the college's reliance on the false declaration made by the respondent was misplaced, and thus, the college was liable for the consequences of the admission. The ruling reinforced the principle that educational institutions must ensure compliance with admission criteria as per the relevant regulations.
