The Bombay High Court allows ILS Law College students short of attendance to write semester-end exams, and the benefit extends to students who did not approach it.
The Bombay High Court on Monday allowed students of Indian Law Society's (ILS) Law College with attendance shortage to write their semester-end examinations, Bar & Bench reported. The matter is titled Aniruddha Gaurav Gursal and Anr v. State of Maharashtra and Ors.
Bar & Bench reported that the Court said the benefit would accrue to even those students who did not approach the Court.
Separately, LiveLaw reported that the Bombay High Court clarified that a Supreme Court judgment providing "one-time protection" to law students applies to students missing any of the semester-end exams, and is not confined only to "final exams." LiveLaw said a division bench of Justice Riyaz Chagla and Justice Farhan Dubash made the clarification. The Supreme Court judgment covers students who were prevented from appearing in their exams during the academic year 2025-2026, according to LiveLaw.
The LiveLaw excerpt does not name ILS Law College or the case title, and the Bar & Bench excerpt does not mention the Supreme Court judgment or the bench, so the sources do not establish that the two reports concern the same order. The LiveLaw report is behind a subscriber paywall.
