However, despite assurance from the principal, the student was forcefully made to admit that he had resorted to unfair practices during the exams by the Chief Examination Officer
A law student has moved Bombay High Court after one of the professors at DY Patil Law College tore his answer sheet during the exams.
The petition filed by Gaurav Kakade from DY Patil Law College was heard by a division bench comprising Justice AS Chandurkar and Justice Rajesh Patil. On July 11, the division bench issued a notice in the petition filed by Gaurav.
The petition filed by the student states that he had written an email to the University requesting supplementary sheets, as the 36-page booklet provided was not sufficient.
On the day of the exam, one of the professors taunted him for sending the email and allegedly tore his answer sheet.
The student then approached the principal with his grievance. However, despite assurance from the principal, the student was forcefully made to admit that he had resorted to unfair practices during the exams by the Chief Examination Officer.
Subsequently, the student was allowed to replicate his torn answer sheet on a fresh paper. However, when he filled in his name and roll number, the authorities informed him that he would only be allowed to fill in his name and roll number
Furthermore, the student was then summoned by the grievance redressal committee, and a report was filed against him. As a result, the student has now approached the high court seeking quashing of the report.
In its order dated July 11, the division bench issued a notice and also directed that the CCTV footage be preserved
