Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of the appellants' MBBS course results by the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (Vyapam) was unjustified, as the appellants were not afforded a fair hearing before the cancellation. The Court emphasized the necessity of adhering to principles of natural justice, particularly in cases involving academic admissions. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions and reinstated the appellants' results, thereby upholding their right to education under Article 21 of the Constitution.
