Overview
- Justice Vivek Saran directed Professor Rajendra Singh (Rajju Bhaiya) University to hold a special B.Sc. first‑semester exam for Shreya Pandey within two weeks of the January 12 order and to publish her result promptly.
- The court ordered the university to update the student's records to secure her academic progression, noting that her details existed on the Samarth portal in draft form.
- Urmila Devi PG College reported about 30 students with non‑updated records; the university updated 25 but not Pandey and four others despite reopening the portal from October 31 to November 1, 2025.
- The bench faulted the university for inaction despite knowledge of the issue and required a counter‑affidavit explaining its protocol for handling portal errors, with the matter listed for February 10.
- Citing Supreme Court and High Court precedents, the order characterizes denial of an exam opportunity as an infringement akin to the right to life and human dignity under Article 21.
