    Case Summary: WP/4777/2026 - Bombay High Court (17 April 2026) Omkar Zumbar Lokhande's writ petition seeking permission to appear for 4th Semester examination despite having only 3% attendance was dismissed. The court refused to grant interim relief, noting the severe attendance deficiency fell well below the 55% minimum requirement under University Ordinances (Clauses 68 and 70), and declined to extend the examination form filing deadline. The case was adjourned for substantive hearing on 5 May 2026, with respondents to file affidavits within two weeks and the petitioner to file a rejoinder thereafter.
