SC permits BAMS student to complete degree after 13-year legal battle, criticizes HC for overlooking efforts - Video

Pulling up the High Court that gave the verdict denying a BAMS degree to a student for being ineligible due to not passing higher secondary education with English as a subject even after he later reappeared and cleared his 10+2 exams, the Supreme Court of India has granted him relief. The apex court relief comes after 13 years of legal battle by allowing him to be issued the degree, as he had rightfully completed his course and internship.

Acknowledging the fact that the student had spent nearly six years completing his BAMS degree and part of his internship, the apex court strongly criticized the Madhya Pradesh High Court for ignoring his hard work, even though the interim order said he couldn’t claim special rights. It found the High Court's decision to be unfair and wrong which dismissed all his efforts.
