Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of release of academic documents to students of Manav Bharti University amidst an ongoing investigation into allegations of fake degrees. The Court recognized the prejudice caused to students, including the appellant, due to the seizure of university records by a Special Investigation Team. It balanced the need for investigation with the rights of students to access their academic credentials. The Court granted relief to the appellant by directing the release of her marksheets and degree to prevent undue hardship.
