The Bombay High Court has refused to grant relief to a student whose provisional admission to a B.Tech course was cancelled after the university discovered discrepancies in his scorecard.
A Division Bench of Justice Riyaz Chagla and Justice Farhan Dubash dismissed the petition filed by Shubham Vijay Mangire against the State of Maharashtra and the Maharashtra Health and Technical Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET) Cell.
The court noted that the mark sheet submitted by the student to MHT-Word Peace University (WPU) in Pune showed a higher percentile than the scorecard available on the MHT-CET portal. The Bench directed the MHT-CET Cell to investigate the matter and submit a report.
