    Case Summary: WP 6524/2026 The Bombay High Court granted an interim order allowing petitioners Vineet Vikramsinh Ghadage and others to appear in the 2nd Semester examination (commencing May 13, 2026) despite having attendance between 50-54%, which falls below the required 70% minimum. The court found that Bar Council of India's Legal Education Rule allows a 20% relaxation (reducing requirement to 50%), creating ambiguity with Pune University's ordinances. The order is interim and subject to the petition's final outcome; petitioners cannot claim any vested rights. Case adjourned to June 22, 2026 for further hearing. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
