Case: SACHIN AND OTHERS v. UNION OF INDIA AND OTHERS
Coram: Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad
Case No.: W.P.(C) 13180/2022
Court Observation: “Lastly, it has also been determined that the Petitioners do not have a legitimate expectation to either get a degree or get another attempt. Even if it is determined that such a legitimate expectation exists, which according to this Court does not exist, in the absence of abuse of power, and keeping in line with the policy of the State, this Court finds no reason to interfere with the Impugned Regulation on the basis of this ground,”
“It cannot be said that the number of attempts that can be taken by a candidate to clear an examination cannot be curbed. There cannot be a right to attempt any examination any number of times.”
“the Government must have rules and regulations that ensure that only individuals with the inclination coupled with the requisite calibre are made medical professionals.”
“In light of the above, this Court does not find any occasion to interfere with the Impugned Regulations. Accordingly, the Writ Petitions are dismissed, along with pending application(s), if any,”
