Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed contempt petitions alleging violation of its earlier judgment and order regarding the conduct of tests for students admitted during the academic sessions 2001-2005. The Court reiterated that the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) must conduct tests as directed, with specific modalities and timelines for students to exercise their options. The Court held that failure to comply with these directives would result in the cancellation of degrees, emphasizing the importance of adhering to its orders under Article 142 of the Constitution.
