Summary The Bombay High Court directed the University of Mumbai and the College to immediately release the petitioner's 8th semester results and degree certificates after he undertook to pay any additional fees on the open category basis. The court found that the petitioner, who had completed his B.E. degree in 2017, was denied his final results for eight years due to a lapsed Muslim reservation ordinance, and that he could not be held responsible for the uncertainty surrounding the reservation's validity. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
