Sahir Sohail & Ors vs A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University & Ors

Bench: 3 — <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

A petitioner sought to withdraw a Special Leave Petition challenging a High Court order regarding admission through a fraudulent open examination system. The Supreme Court, while allowing withdrawal, found that the State's open exam process itself was a complete fraud (operating from a single room without proper verification). The Court held that students cannot receive recognized plus two status through such fraudulent examinations, and consequently cannot be granted degrees based on this fraudulent qualification. The Court directed the University and State Government to immediately investigate, take corrective action, prosecute defaulters, and remove the fraudulent board's false recognition from official websites within three days to prevent systemic harm across educational institutions."
