Bombay High Court Urges Immediate Action on Nagpur University Result Delays, Prioritizes Students' Concerns The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court on Friday converted a petition regarding delays in Nagpur University examination results into a public interest litigation (PIL), emphasizing that students’ academic concerns must not be overlooked. The court, presided over by a division bench comprising Justices Anil Kilor and Raj Wakode, directed the university to submit a comprehensive affidavit by May 7, following a petition filed by Neeraj Dharashivkar. The petition highlighted systemic delays in declaring results for over 600 examinations conducted before Diwali 2025, with nearly 70% of results still pending. The petitioner argued that the backlog was causing significant disruptions, including delays in admissions for subsequent academic sessions, the issuance of degree certificates, and placement opportunities for students. However, the university countered that only 7% of results remained pending after it fast-tracked the evaluation process following public outcry over the pendency. The university also noted that the schedule for 60 examinations under the summer session had already been announced. The court expressed dissatisfaction with the incomplete declaration of winter session results, stating that the situation required immediate attention. It issued notices to the principal secretary of the higher and technical education department, the university’s vice-chancellor, registrar, director of examinations, and the outsourced agency involved, demanding detailed responses.#bombay_high_court #nagpur_university #neeraj_dharashivkar #higher_and_technical_education_department #summer_session_examinations
