The Bombay High Court has ruled that students protesting alleged malpractices in Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exams are not anti-social elements. The court emphasized the state government's responsibility to ensure that recruitment exams are conducted impartially and fairly. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Justice Advait Sethna, noted that the government must assure that exams are conducted without malpractices.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Pune residents against ongoing agitations by students and others over alleged malpractices in MPSC exams. The government was asked to ensure sincere efforts to restore the trust of people, especially students, in such exams. If students feel there has been malpractice, they have the right to agitate, as they have invested significant time in their studies.
The court also directed the government to submit a roadmap and report within three weeks, and posted the matter for further hearing on November 25.
