Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of actions taken by the Madhya Pradesh Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal (the BOARD) under the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board Act, 2007, particularly in light of the absence of a formal notification establishing the BOARD as required by Section 3 of the Act. The Court held that the BOARD's actions, including the cancellation of examination results, were invalid due to the lack of statutory authority, thereby emphasizing the necessity of compliance with statutory provisions for the legitimacy of administrative actions. The Court ultimately ruled that the admissions based on the cancelled results were null and void.
